Food for Thought


Food for thought (get it, Cracker Barrel--food)
alright, bad joke-----

Anyway, question here ----
When you play, what level are you most comfortable playing, 1/2 no-limit, 10/20 limit or some thing else? Where do you play the worst, not paying attention and say "Well, it is only $xx more to cal, no big deal. Lets see if we can run them down.".

What level do you feel very uneasy at?

I know when I first started playing full time 30/60 was my top limit. I thought at the time the 60/120 players were POKER GODS to me, they scared me to death. The limit made me dizzy when I thought about walking up those steps to get into the game. Then I noticed something, THOSE WERE THE SAME PLAYERS I PLAYED 30/60 with AND I BEAT THEM---
I took that walk one day, I bet the game that day, 60/120 was nothing I ran from any longer.

Over time they changed the game to 80/160 (damn 4 chip games, I just hate them), still the same players, still the same game for the most part. Maybe one or two would sit that I had not noticed. I still beat the game.
Then again, they change the game to 100/200--Right in th middle of my 80/160 session. Well, no big deal. I still did just fine.
THEN I WENT BUST------Not from poker though, I had to sit out close to three years. 2 years 7 months to be exact before I was able to play again.
30/60 scared me to no end now. It was a huge step back aftr so long off. 100/200 no way.
Not because I thought I had lost my skills, it was BANKROLL.........

So, where are you and why on game size or even tournament buy-ins.
For me, today--- 300/600 is a walk in the park. Higher if it is a mixed game----
Where do you want to be come Monday-----
