Don't Be a Donkfish

35BI sounds a bit excessive, no? How about taking shots from 25BI then seeing how you go? I'm glad you have the patience to wait that long. I can't stick around over 20BI really. I moved up to 10nl with $210 and just added tables for every 10$ I won after that, so for example at 250$ I was fully rolled to play my optimal playing approach of 4 tables.

Take a read of this. GL at tables.

Maybe a little, since I don't mass table and don't make a ton of high variance plays, but certainly not excessive imo. I'm definitely not putting 50NL or even 100NL on this pedestal, because in the end it's just poker and a bad player is just as exploitable at 10NL as he is at 200NL. There's just less of them.

I've just always been somewhat conservative with my money and I believe playing a little over-rolled, while possibly sacrificing some money in the winnings column, is +EV at the table (damn you tilt) and in life. Hell, when I get to the point in my poker journey where I'm making regular withdrawals to pay for random shit, you can bet your ass I'll have between 50-100 buyins.

There's also nothing wrong with sticking to the 20 buyin rule. It depends on the person really. If you're mentally capable of handling the swings and can move back down without a bruised ego, then go for it all the way to 1000NL.

Me, I am very prone to tilt and I'm not ashamed to admit it. My family has a history of mental illness, and while I'm nowhere near as bad as anyone before me, I can snap into a "fuck life" state pretty easily. So the only way I know how to deal with it, in a poker sense, is play a little over rolled and it seems to be working okay for me.

Thanks for the friendly nudge though.
