Does winning too much money make you foolish? - Page 2 - Poker News

Pretty decent thread, despite the hate. I found that when binking something biggish or even a upswing it promotes laziness as u stated. I've found that to be the case, especially when I shift up in limits, I donk a couple of buy ins then realise I'm nowhere near my A game, but its a hell of a expensive lession when u dont even properly learn it in the 1st place

Cliff notes: No self control in some respects.

I don't think neglect or or foolish bankroll management is increased or decreased by the size of the bankroll. I think the bankroll owner's decisions will be pretty much the same level of sane/insane no matter what size it is.

Thats a whole novel up there, I stopped reading after the 3rd or 4th paragraph.

But anyway to answer your question. Isildur is a very agressive player. Thus he has potential for higher winnings but also huge downswings. He probably didn't have any proper bankroll management. I heard the proper bankroll is about 20 times the min buy in for whichever stakes you are playing.

If you feel you need to spend money just because "you have too much" (which I dont understand how much too much is ) why not just donate to an organization of ur choice

I saw him buyin for 30k @ plo. doubled up. won a decent pot to get to like 90. then trippled up in a 3way like 20 hands later. obviously you don't understand what 100 hands in PLO can do

confirmed millionaire.

i read the OP btw and to save other peoples time its not worth reading. he basically goes on to make assumptions that CTS must have took a huge bankroll hit because of some stats he saw on HSDB and then extrapolates this into it meaning a lot of high stakes players are degens with their bankroll. he then injects a bit of anecdotal affirmation of his claim by comparing CTS and isildur to himself and how he moved up to 1k HU and donked off winnings at lower stakes all because he had dreams of being good.

cliff notes: OP not worth read and fishy.

LarsLuzak is perfect example of this, guy kept playing the best at highest games available and pretty sure dumped a significant part of his lifetime winnings.
