How does one overcome the "holy shit that's a lot of money" complex?By saying that I mean that while playing 0.25 right now, I don't really care if I lose to a pot sized bet in a pot that is $12. At the end of the day, it's $12.Once I'm playing at $100 and $200, and a guy shovels $90-$100-$110 in against me on the river, HOW the hell do you make that semi-marginal call? I guess that's what playing with proper br is all about but man... Right now, I can't see myself ever thinking of it that way.I wish the sites had a "BB only" option, where you could make ALL table buyins and stacks and bets in BB. There would be no dollar signs. Every time you bought in to whatever limit you were at, you buy in at "50BB". That would be something I'd use for SURE.

It comes with experience I guess, but like you said it has a ton to do with bankroll management. Its a weird situation because you want to be able to not think about the money but at the same time you dont want to completely lose all respect for money. You just want to try and never be results orientated and always just look at every decision by the percentages not the dollar signs, earlier in the day I lost a big pot when I got it in with a huge draw and bricked, I felt like sht because I could have slowed down and saved money when I lost instead of getting aggressive and losing a monster. That was me being results orientated and I knew that it was the right play but I just lost so oh well. I've heard it many times before and I do believe it, in order to be a good player even a great player you have to not think about the money your playing with.I am much better online then I am live, when I play live and have to make a 400 dollar call it is much much harder than online.

Well as i said you don't depend on poker money so you don't have to be ridiculously overrolled to move up like me.I never deposited online , started with party 50$ and moved up from there so i am making a special effort to keep it that way. I also started trying to support myself with poker money. I don't pay rent or bills or stuff like that but you know drinks , clothes , vacations etc. For example i withdrew 2000$ a few days ago to pay 400$ school expense and a trip to Vienna - Budapest one month later in Ramadan Holiday(Obv brag post? lol).What i am saying is 35 buy ins should be enough for you if you are willing to move down. Move up to 100$ with 35 , if you lose 10 buyins drop down to 50$ and you will still have a safe 50 buyins for that level to grind it back.*****And about the big money complex , besides having a big bankroll , trying to focus on the right decision every hand helps. have the odds calculator open while playing and check the equites after every big pot you won or lost. It reduces tilt as well. Sometimes it feels like some guy put a huge bad beat on you but when you check the equites you see he is %40 on flop or had the pot odds to call.

Pretty boring routine ~650 hand session. That hand right at the start sorta set the tone. I actually had some monster hands (I think I hit quads 4 times in 600 hands) but always had the board crushed so bad when I'd get them, nobody would pay me off. /shrug. Trying to get gold ironman status this month and I'm well on my way to that. Still >5bb/100 for the month so that's good. Tomorrow's another (hopefully >20bb/100) day

[BudBundy 0]

Where do you check your ironman status?

[bdc30 0]

On the cashier window, click "My Promotions", then it will bring up a page with options, one of which being "Check My Ironman Status"

Blah. Terrible day thus far. Getting NO cards at all. If I raise pre, I whiff, if I flat call, I catch enough to draw but it doesn't get there.Down 3 buyins 1k hands in. sigh.

What a shitty day. That is all. No cards, didn't hit any draws, missed all the flops. bleh.

Played a big pot, limped 4 way bb blind pots to 24 and I call knowing he has aces.He bet the pot of 120 and had 300 behind and I insta shoved on the button having him covered hoping he would lay down the aces but did'nt really mind if he called, he thought for a while and made a good call.fortunately I turned a clubhttp://twodimes.net/h/?z=3061783pokenum -o ac 7d 8c js - ah as 8s 8d -- 7c 3c 2d Omaha Hi: 820 enumerated boards containing 7c 3c 2dcards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EVJs Ac 8c 7d 429 52.32 391 47.68 0 0.00 0.523As 8s 8d Ah 391 47.68 429 52.32 0 0.00 0.477Quitting for now +1950.

You're joking. No, really, you're joking. Why/how? If you're buying in yourself you're an idiot (you don't know PLO well enough obv) and if you're being staked he is an idiot. Or overly rich.

http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...showtopic=66345:-)Nut outs are less important in 6-max than full ring. Don't overplay big pair + junk hands. Those are speculative hands -- you need to hit top set AND your opponent to hit top-two or a set. Play hands that make straights. Play double suited hands that makes straights aggressively.
