Playing Above Your Bankroll

Searching for a game to play. It sat for a while waiting for the 18th player. Decided to do it. Got a few lucky hands later in the game, but it was very basic first 2 levels. Then a shove fest, the same as a $1.00 turbo. But hey, came in 2nd. 3rd is a Super Nova Elite - he made some errors.

  • Higher buy in games don't necessarily have better players, just need a bigger bankroll to withstand the swings.

    Q8 is a call here for 3BBs

    It is actually a call up to 13bb regarding Nash..

  • Did it again. Grinding those small stakes makes these seem easy.
