Message: [QUOTE="ericklam92, post: 6693851, member: 1019275"] Hi there, Though I've been playing poker for multiple years, it was always a recreational "spend 100-200 bucks and either win or lose". Now I moved to a new location that has regular live poker games and I started playing every weekend (1 or 2 times per week). For the past 8 months, the only game available was $1/2 where I usually had small winnings until coming 3 or 4 times drunk after a party with friends and losing it all. Now the casino in town changed and they keep playing for only $2/5 stakes often with 3-4 regs at the table. I've tried 6 sessions and had 5 in green (around $3k total) and the last one personal biggest loss of $1.8k (flopped full over full, top two pairs vs set, AA vs offsuit connectors that tried to bluff me off and got lucky on the river). [B]My biggest question to myself is: 1) how much bankroll should I have to play at these levels (assume coolers aren't that rare), or 2) should I stop for a while and keep studying?[/B] Important notes: - I don't have any online accounts, don't play online, just for the past 6 months spent around 8-10 hours a week studying (upswing courses helped a lot though they seem to be against "thinking opponents"). - There are literally no more formal $1/2 games in town anymore, just some $0.5/1 or even lower (I'm in a cheap country in Europe) but all private and not really enjoyable. - I have some savings and a decent for the region salary (net $120k/yr) while spending around 4-5k months, however, it's at a startup that can go bust until the year's end and I will have no regular salary for 3-4 months. Thank you guys in advance! [/QUOTE]
