No, actually you can play .10/.25 or whatever for the rest of your days if you like, there's certainly no one holding a gun to your head.

Well, Aeq said he'd be stupid to not move up, but I disagree with him. I'm in 100% agreement with you. ESPECIALLY for a guy like Brian, who is known to have gambling tendencies (I'll use that word to be nice), I think it would be a great idea for him to never play anything above the microlimits.

We all know that's not going to happen though.

5c/10c with a $600 bankroll? LOL...

But wait, I forgot who we were dealing with. I stand corrected.

Just because someone wins $600 doesn't mean their bankroll has to be $600. They could certainly spend $500 of it on themselves and the family and keep their bankroll at $100.

Do you really think Greg Raymer's poker bankroll is $5 million (well, whatever it came to after taxes)? I'm guessing it's not. I'm guessing he invested most of it and keeps a couple hundred thousand for his bankroll.

Pros who play for a living are constantly dipping into their bankrolls to pay bills, etc... There is no reason Brian couldn't/shouldn't do the exact same thing and play for fun.

Look who we're dealing with.

"Most of it" isn't even his, that is, after he paid out to all of his backers.

Look who we're dealing with.

Default yes


and thats exactly what I want, dont have any reason to ever play higher then 2/4. Dont want to make a living off doing this, just want to have fun doing something I love to do. Dont see me ever sitting at a table with TP playing some 5/10. I would love one day to have a $1,000 bankroll and every $500 take out and spend it on bills, dinner, the kids or whatever.

Thats my goal and Im sticking to it. As for who we are dealing with yes I blew up last month and wasted alot of money but give me a break.

Well, then don't listen to Aeq or anyone else who tells you to move up. Problem solved.

So did Brian move up limits before or after 9:00 PM?

I've got 50 bucks that says he'll be at the 50 NL table by weeks end.

He was at the $25 No-limit tables around 10pm... Although I have no idea if he was there more or less than an hour.

stopped playing for awhile my son has an infection in his blood, they say it got there through his central line which I have no idea how that happen since we where very very very careful when we changed dressing. So putting poker on hold until he gets out of hospitol. Going to AC with friend next month so that might be next time I play.
