Might take a break

Yeah, don't do that. I was recently curious about an MMORPG, and I got pick-pocketed out of 12 days of my life (thats play time btw, hence my absence the earlier part of this year). I fear that once I leave the proximity of a real casino, online just won't appeal to me as much. I enjoy the social atmosphere, and I enjoy reading people. Heck, I do it in real life to pass time and operate normally. Akverno, if you are near a real casino, maybe you could give that a shot.

Oh, what I would give to be near a real casino fungus.

I tried moving up in stakes, so far it's working I'm actually having fun. It's weird risking that much money at the tables. I'm definately not playing scared money, but it's nice to actually be risking something again. My game these days is 6-max lim. Shabi had mentioned earlier that playing 300xbb bankroll in these games is a little risky so I was trying to adhere to having more then 300x bb in my bankroll to play these. There's just something boring about playing for twenty bucks when I've got 4-5 hundo in the account, so after I got 4th in the heads up I moved up to 1/2 lim which is was still boring (but after a couple k hands I was still a winner at these levels). So I bumped it up again to 2/4 lim six max with between 2-300 x bb in the bankroll. So far so good I'm up a couple of hundred (started with right at 200bb and i'm nearing in on 300 now). If I take a slide I can move back in levels again, but 2/4 seems very beatable, the players sit down with less then optimal cash at the tables more often and people tend to be more passive then at the lower levels I was playing.

So, we'll see, if I continue to do well you might be hearing that I bumped it up to 3/6 after I near in on 300x bb for that game.

Disclaimer: I know it's risky to be playing 6-max without a huge bankroll to back it up, but I can risk the loss if need be now, before I couldn't.

Thata boy, sometimes a little risk isn't too bad as long as you are having fun and know what could happen.
