jcashx36x 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 When following good BR mgmt. how many of you sometimes sneak into the next level of limits with half the max buy inIf you do so, whats your strategy in attempting this. Its not like your risking that much difference in money but can a player find success in doing so?If you're reading this and you use to do this, i would love any feedback of anykind to this topic..thanks ahead.ca$h Link to post Share on other sites
pokerfan1080 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I've done it, sometimes even less than half a buy-in too.I've sat at $100nl, full ring, with $25 on a number of occasions. Each time I've either come away even, or up quite a bit. I tend to play overly tight when I've done it, seemed to work ok, but it was a very small sample size, probably less than a dozen.I've also sat with $30, $50 and $60 at the same stakes. Similar results for all those, but even smaller sample sizes though. Link to post Share on other sites
cMcMonkey 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I don't think there's anything wrong with testing the waters, especially if you're in sight of your BR being able to support the higher limit. Its much better, IMO, to use your strategy to get a feel for the new game before building your BR and just jumping in all the way. I've done the same on occasion, and I've found what I have to be careful of is playing too tight/giving too much credit and then changing my play when I do start doing well. Whether that's making bad decisions because I don't want to give it all back, or playing too loose because I'm up so much compared to the normal limit, or leaving a juicy game so I can walk away a winner, etc. As long as you can make good decisions without the limit or amount affecting you, then more power to you.
