is there any reason why i just should have called his bet on the river. the hand i was really afraid of was AK... but i obv thought i had the best hand and that the push was all good... clearly didn't put him on quads

I see your point but it def says tournament so wtf?

ffs the image is so small but if u click on it you can see the details, i also SS him and nothing, it has a tourny ID, maybe try searching by that if we can?

fold flop

yea it also says it's a 320, wtf, I wanna play lebron! ;p

i think it's a play money tournament...lebron obv can't afford anything else

I would wait till you are comfortable playing those stakes regularly. it doesnt matter if you have the roll to play those stakes, if youre not confident then you will fail. you see it all the time guys move up and get crushed cause they play weak at high stakes. personally i could afford to play the $200 with a 50buyin roll< but i dont cause i really havent made my way there yet and i dont feel comfortable playing them, so i stay in the $2-$50 range and play mostly $22.

jaut wait till you have not question in your head that you belong at those stakes before you make the move IMO.

Not really happy about it I expected to make alot more money, I didnt account for the fact that my roi would drop so much and swings would be huger from adding 2-3 tables more then normal, fwiw I do believe I ran pretty terrible alot of the way but towards the end I began playing terrible (which is hard to admit) after so many hours of playing it took a toll mentally and physically.

I'm not sure if I agree. I think any decent player would beat 50s very well and do okay at the 100s, and I am merely not doing this do to having withdraw money and what I admit to be stress reasons. Skill-wise I have no problem I think, and neither would most decent players.

Yeah you shoved your 7 on a Q7x board and rivered my AQ
It still hurts

I was just kidding on the fish comment

I agree that you need to be comfortable with the stakes in order to enjoy it and play your best. However, the solution for being rolled for but uncomfortable w/ higher stakes is not to stay down and play overrolled - it's to force yourself out of your comfort zone under controlled conditions. You'll be surprised how fast the bigger stakes become no big deal.

Anyway, it's true that the 50s are very beatable. Sitting first, esp during prime recreational player hours, will usually get you a game w/ a fish. Higher stakes ppls - when is this no longer the case (assuming I maintain my pretty graph)?

Sitting second gets you loads of fish too, from my experience, or at least "regfish". They play too tight, but when they have a hand, they will go with it even if you rep a much stronger hand. Sort of a "I HAZ TOP PAIR, AWL IN" mentality, except with somewhat stronger preflop ranges. I play on Stars, though.

ty for all the advice guys. i def agree with yaqh's perspective that i need to force myself out of my comfort zone rather than stay where i'm at. if i only had a 50bi roll or whatever i can see more merit to waiting until i'm really comfortable, but i'm just being ridiculous. i'll take 10BI for the 88s/100s, and if goes bad i'll just get the 1k back at 50s. TR forthcoming obv.

he's baaaaaack! Over/under how long until I get banned again?

U miss-interpret what im saying or i explained it wrong.....theres no doubt that many $30-$50 winning players are good enough to beat the $100 games IMO(i.e. Insane_steve) but they have a Depiction of the games being Sig Tougher,So therefore have a Mental"block" if you will to see the games for what they are. i personally think that anyone beating the $30-$88 games should just play the $100s if they can handle it BR-wise & Mentally. the Latter being the Crux for most.

its all about the Perception that your Skills may not be = to someone who plays those stakes Regularly. i FIRMLY beleive that you have to 100% beleive you can beat a certain level of game before you really will First & Foremost, then have an Adiquite BR to play with..so im not saying that person shoudnt move up based on his skillz, but based on the passiveness to do so, he will be on scared money even though he is beating players that are quite possibly = in skill level or possibly worse.

ya i agree, and my graph is surely not as pretty. i don't have anything against playing regs anyway, so sitting first is the way to go imo.

everybody loves Yaqh....hu4rollz?

I don't see how you can know that playing 0 games at that level unless the increase in average player skill is very small. For example, the skill jump from 200nl to 400nl in 6m is notorious for being huge, way bigger than any skill jump prior to it. There's tons of people who are pretty decent winners at 200nl that just can't crack 200nl. You might look at their 200nl stats and say "I know you can beat 400nl, go nuts", but unless they play some hands and get a feel for the competition, it's all a guessing game.
