Hi. I registered here a while ago but I have hardly posted anything.
I mainly play Everest Poker and I switch between 2/4, .50NL and 2NL depending on my mood and how well I feel I'm playing. For those of you who do not know, this is a site chock full of hyperaggressive, hyperloose players. Some of them have some talent, some have not. It is not at all uncommon to see a pot where someone bets $20 into a $20 dollar flop, gets reraised all-in for $200 more and calls with a 5 high flush draw against something like top set. If you think I'm overexaggerating, you haven't played there.
This is a site that can be very, very profitable, but it's also a site where you have to expect HUGE swings. Since many, many players there raise all in on their draws, you need to be able to make tough calls (which are sometimes, of course, wrong) and you always run a decent risk of losing each hand even if you have the goods.
What I am asking is what kind of bankroll you would feel appropriate for NL games on this site. I have heard the recommendations of 15-20 max buyins... and I agree that on most sites this would be quite ok, but I feel I need more in this particular place.
Should there be any difference?
Sincerely, T.
