BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I see what you're saying, and I've at times pushed too hard myself and ended up quartered, and if you serious tilt higher than a certain level you need to figure out a way to come to terms with it, but if you have any serious poker ambition, the raketrap eats you alive. Like, 2/4 is more beatable even BB-wise than 1/2 on PS for this reason. In the smaller limits, we pay like 3-4BB/100-worth of rake. That really, really cuts into your winrate. So obviously take all the time you need, but that time is expensive.That's a good point. Link to post Share on other sites
Flushgarden 0 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I just played my best session of 2009. I lost 40 BBs but I don't think that matters at all. I'm going to play a couple mtts now (LHE and PLHE) and I predict at least one final table, and I just might take one down again. Link to post Share on other sites

DinkDonk 1 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 there's a 4.4 FL 2K guar starting in an hour and half on stars.. wanna barrage it?I might jump in.
