Good idea. I'll keep an eye on this game to verify how soft it is over a larger sample before I take a shot.Shrikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404058806313927899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230689943504768756.post-15666255303619802272009-05-15T11:49:00.000-07:002009-05-15T11:49:00.000-07:00You talk about not wanting to put your live bankro...You talk about not wanting to put your live bankroll at too much risk, but I suggest an alternative outlook:<br />Don't differentiate between your live and online bankrolls. Look at it as one combined bankroll. If you loose your live bankroll money, you can always withdraw from your online bankroll to replenish it.<br />I generally abide by the bankroll rules of thumb: 20 buy-ins for NL, 40 buy-ins for PLO, and 500 BBs for limit hold'em. <br />However, I don't see anything wrong with your idea of gathering 10 buy-ins and giving a soft game a shot.<br />PLO is swingy as hell, so halfstacking is a good strategy to remove some of your risk.Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181215527323378978noreply@blogger.com
