What do you mean by not 'average' US game?

I have started to play more regularily in local rooms this year, games are mainly the equivalent of 1/1 or 2/2. Im up ~800$ so far in around 20 hours since new year! Datsamplesize!

Do you guys just keep track of what your roll is but have it in the bank with the rest of your money? I just have the cash lying around right now.

I have the lions share in a 1% savings account and about 5-10% in the market

I typically keep 10 BI in cash hidden in the house. When that increases to ~13 BI, I put the excess in the bank; when it decreases to ~7, I top up from the bank.

Curious thought,

Let's assume the standard rule of thumb BR for a stake is 30bi

Let's now assume player is playing in a game that is frequently MS straddled for 2-4x the BB.

How much should standard rule of thumb BR requirements increase

That sounds like a terrible game. MS straddle, especially when you can go to more than 2x, makes the game play very shallow and thus tight. I would find another place to play or try to convince the table to ditch the straddle so you can actually play poker.

I recently put out a podcast on BRM I think a lot of you guys would find helpful in regards to moving up stakes/how many buyins to play x stake. A lot of what I talked about in the podcast was based on things I consider misconceptions that I've read in here. Check twitter for info.

I'd recommend having a super cool life outside of poker to help offset these stretches, like maybe go hangliding or surfing or something.

seriously - this is what helped me maintain my sanity during the stretch. I had not run that bad in quite a long time and forgotten how miserable it is.

What? You think MS makes the game play better? Its an extra advantage to the button and effectively reduces stack sizes so hands like suited connectors and other non-premiums get way worse.

I guess if you like to play a very tight straightforward game, MS could give you an extra edge because it punishes looser players who dont adjust.

I've never seen a button straddle make a game tighter. If players are putting it on, they're there to gamble, and the game loosens up. People throw far too much money in with trash.

Does that mean we don't have the odds to limp with 76s and play super deep? Yes.

But in general it gets more players putting more money into the pot with ****tier hands. This is all good for the game.

Straddling is - EV, so a game with frequent villain MS straddles should be great for a winning player's WR, along with bushels of addtnl variance.
