Playing within youre bankroll limits

Now wait, that is different still from what you said earlier.

If you are trying to see if you can beat a game, to possibly make a move up permanently with only $400, you would not know if you were beating the game with $100 of it on the table. The sample size that you would need would be very unlikely to be reached with a $100 investment in 2/4 (unless you get really lucky at the beginning).

Even if you busted out (or won big), that wouldn't mean much about the level. In order to "beat a level" you have to be able to beat different combinations of players that play it, not only those at one table on one occasion.

lets clarify here,

Joe schmo deposits $400 and likes 2/4, its his favorite level at the local casino when he goes to play and dosent want to play anything different. He puts $100 of his current $400 bankroll on the game. Regardless of what happens to that $100 I think this is a ok move. That is all im saying, wanted to know what people thought of him doing this.

thats pretty cut and dry, what I said to shabi has nothing to do with my origional post was making point that he played out of his bankroll before.

I see where my posts kinda go back and forth, didnt meant to do that sorry. I stand by what I said in 1st post. I still dont see a problem with playing above youre bankroll if you like that level. As long as you know you could lose a good portion of youre bankroll in one sitting.

This is a funny thread.

How many times do we (and I say that collectively - including EVERYONE on this forum who has talked w/ you about bankroll management) have to go through this?

Use the search function. It's there for a reason.

I have and most of the threads say one side of the coin, dont play a game unless you are bankrolled for it. What I wanted from this thread is the fact that there are times when you can play outside youre bankroll.

Priceless. I may pin this up on my wall as a reminder that I can take $$$$ from a lot of people.

If it's "fact" then why did you have to ask about it?

I don't have to make a thread asking everybody if Lou has a 3 inch pecker. It's well-known fact.

Brain, I'm convinced that you don't have the mental capacity to understand abstract concepts like variance and downswings. There's no hope.
