without a doubt. when you post a small blind comperable to a family's yearly income (ok, kinda poor family), its going to affect you.How is 100 grand a year a poor family income?I'd happily invest if i had a spare 50m, but wouldnt play. Cos im crap.EDITAh my apologies, u said small blind as opposed to small bet, ignore this post.P.S., how much are the blinds at the level they play
