Default Psychology: Bankrolls

WHat do you guys think bankrolls have on the affect of your game? I find that when my bankroll gets too big I start to get sloppy.

I've been building for 2/4NL, but it's as if I've stopped caring about the blinds. $200 feels like nothing now.


Before when I was playing too big, I had a very good winrate. I think that stress of the money helps play smarter.

Yes.. I think I went through a stage of getting sloppy. I looked at my PT stats and saw the leaks around the blinds.. Unfortunately these remain the place where everything happens.

What I've also found (I think Alex said this) is that its at $1/$2 NL where your notes on players start to become very important. Unless a table is very loose I'm way down to four tables with Pokertracker working plus notes in order to keep my win rate up. You might realise that I still have the problem of the time when I play. I reckon at 3am in the morning the tables 'drop a level'.


I actually now find it quite stressful playing 0.1/0.25 - the fish are nice but there are a lot of them and it gets a bit frustrating sometimes. Also I think the Party rake isn't a great help at this level.

Interesting FACT: Sometime back I asked the limit guys to report on the win rate per session. It appears that in Limit your win rate is 60/40: I think there is something fundamental about the maths with loads of random play going on.

What I've seen at the higher limits of NL is that this figure begins to change. . There are ppl who are winning 45% of the time .

poker does that to you.

it really is nothing though if you are well rolled so i guess you are supposed to feel that way.
