Message: [QUOTE="IveGot0uts, post: 1377566, member: 45459"] Have to say, if you're a losing player at the moment, polish your game more at mircos online till you're a winning player. If your B&M games are like the ones here then 25NL will have you with the skillset to hold your own readily. Also, you sound a bit like you have stars in your eyes about things. Talking about picking up 2 buy ins per session as if this will be the most common occurence. If that were the case I'd be taking your classes, along with Phil Ivey and Doyle (unless you're just short stacking, then we wouldn't want to, and you're probably looking at CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY variance, like mindblowing soul rending style). Remember you will get AA AIPF v KK and lose, and you will get in far fewer hands in which to make that up playing one table at live H/hr rates. The games are softer, but its still way fewer hands. My recommendation is that you get a part time job that leaves you free during the softest hours at your casino, probably 5-12PM or so, and keep that up while playing your game. Get a friend who will go with you daily, if you can, and talk about your sessions with them every time. The more people the better. Having that job will keep you hungry to work at your poker, instead of not having it making you desperate to work on your poker. Also, it'll insulate you at first while you're getting the kinks out to make sure you're a winning player. As to not being a one trick pony, be one. There is something to be said for having the poker versatility to be able to go wherever the fish are and take their money, but the lower buy in NL games will always have all the fish you need, and it sounds like you're miles from mastery of NL (not meant to be an insult, just a fact based on your own admission). Do one thing and do it untill you own the shit out of it, then think about expanding. Personally, I despise the concept of stop loss/gain systems. They have utility if you can't see when you're off your A-game and correct your course or get out based on that, but you are far better served by being concious of your own game and that of your oppoenents and leaving on the basis of analysis of those factors. And I hope your complaint is that you're forced to buy in with ONLY 80 at your 1-3, because you should be sitting there with a solid 300, you're even rolled for it kinda. Don't be a short stacker. At a live game, unless you're table hopping, you're looking buying in as a shorty, then doubling up and playing awkward stack sizes in order to generate any winnings. Finally, just be cautious about the whole thinking you're going in to smash it thing. It will be swingy, and brutal at first if you're not a winner at the moment. I wish you the best of luck, but just keep my cautions in mind. Remember that with awful players comes gut wrenching variance. And I'm sure you'll get more precautionary warnings from more experienced people than myself. [/QUOTE]
