CAN I GET AN AMEN! PREACH IT BROTHER!I spend most poker nights playing like an ass for the first hour then spending the rest of the night chasing my money. If I was dependent on poker to earn a living I would be living in a box in two weeks.

On the one hand, these livestreams are great learning/teaching tools.I don't think she thought she was bluffing. You really think she called off half her stack OOP trying to hit a Q, J or T (which she blocks) to run a river bluff?
Nah, she was going to pay me off if the board paired K, 7 or 5 on the river

On the other hand, too much information equals too much analysis equals insanity.
You booked a win.
Also fuck her.
There are reasonable strategies just for this type of play. I love roulette, it has the highest vig in the place but I can't get enough of it, abet I play dollars in side mostly, and for fun, with a typical stop loss @ 300, last time I played (last weekend) I won 150! and that was exciting and or enough fun for me.But if we abuse casino comps roulette is better!

Let's ask Negreanu. Daniel?
I'm $1.2 billion short. Guess no 12-hour drunken headsup 1/2 sessions for me vs Ivey
Also, dnegs saying 20 buyins applies to NLHE. Generally PLO has higher recommended bankrolls due to variance
But variance cuts both ways and in most cases you are getting two to one on your money in Omaha, which is not the case with NLHE. Because of the greater disparity in equity between the games, bluffs are easier to get through in NLHE.
I am not sold that one requires a much bigger bankroll than the other. The swings due to variance over the course of a six hour session are arguably greater in PLO, as there is a greater opportunity for drawing hands, but that shouldn't impact the profitability of the game any more than NLHE over the long term.
If I am wrong, wouldn't it be wiser to play NLHE for a living?
In addition, I know from what I've read and experienced that a PLO game at a certain stake level plays bigger than the same stakes of NLH. And I believe PLO provides a larger hourly earn rate than Hold Em, given there's less study material out there and it's a more complex game than Hold Em.
I'm no expert on it, but everything I've read from people I think know what they're talking about generally suggest that PLO requires a larger roll to handle the swings than Hold Em does.

OP:And he recommends someone with a 1k bankroll just go play 1/2 or 1/3 NL Hold em and "win a few hundred bucks"
Uh, no. If you have 1k in your roll you can't play for a living, you need a fucking job
And to play PLO you need 30-60 buyins to play for a living
How does this guy have 2x my sub count???
OP:
so you hired this guy to generate dead money and posted this to cover your ass?
well...nothing wrong with that
& the rest: I love this tread (and OP)!

I don't think the idea of having a 50 buy in bankroll is to anticipate a 50 buy in downswing, but instead an opportunity to survive a significant downswing, perhaps of half of that, without being scared money. Also, for example if for example one goes through a 20 buy-in downswing to 30 buy ins, one could choose to raise the bankroll in terms of buy-ins by downstaking instead of playing scared money. I imagine if one goes through a 20 buy-in downswing it gets psychological, what's to stop me from going down another 20 buy-ins from here if it just happened. Then I have to get a real job.It is a little irrational to feel the need to have such a large bankroll, but in part, we are irrational creatures. How many of us have gone on a losing streak where we have blown through 30 to 60 buy-ins? Seriously.
Well, playing poker for a living requires a level of planning and discipline, which is why many players fail
You want a MINIMUM of 6 months living expenses SEPARATE from your roll, and a fallback plan if poker doesn't work out (only fans, sell feet pics, etc)
