Am I totally miunderstanding this or was this really old BR management?It was tighter games back in the day. Tighter games=less variance for good players. Thats my guess anyhow.

Plus Doyle had a wild style and it was usually to his benefit to have the table covered. Link to post Share on other sites

He was talking about money management almost like it was his bankroll. Sitting with 2500 makes a lot of sense to me tho. Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard 5/10 live games play much more like 10/20 for this reason. Link to post Share on other sites
PoppinFresh 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 mmmmm, uncapped buyins.I'm probably gonna lose half my BR playing uncapped 25/50 in the near future. Or it will grow really fast But yea, I think he's referring to how much you should sit with not your BR Link to post Share on other sites

(I never play less than 100) and from reading these forums, it seems like a lot of people have had a hard time finding over 50. Link to post Share on other sites

I usually just bought in for whatever let me cover most of the players (typically $300). The buy-in for 2/5 and above was uncapped. Link to post Share on other sites
