gavham Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Oh dear here we go again, the reason i am putting on this thread is i have taken a u-turn. i now buy in mostly for the max and feel i am winning even more than before! I think the reason is being more comfortable at the level you are playing at. i moved through the levels pretty quick and probably used the min buy in as a saftey net ( which i would recommend) but once you are comfy enough and have the roll max buy in pays dividends quicker. Since i moved to the $25/50 game i find i do not have to play very long anymore to make a serious amount of money ( which means my rake will probably suffer) but i don't mind that as i now have more time on my hands. Well i will be keen to see what you all make of this as a few of you did say this at the time cheers the mole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Re: Min/Max Buy In There's nowt wrong with what you're saying at all mate, but there was a good debate about it last time and I think it's good that views can be changed through discussion and discovery. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Re: Min/Max Buy In Nice post mate. I think what is important is that people do what is comfortable and works for them. You have proven you can make money both with minimin buy ins aswell as near max buy ins. Good luck in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmuzeman Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Re: Min/Max Buy In There was never any question in my mind max buy in was the way forward to make the most money if youre a good player. I hope we can now put that argument to rest. Anyone got a link to the old thread with the original 'argument'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmuzeman Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: Min/Max Buy In http://www.punterslounge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36196 Thats the thread, may as well have it there so we know what it was all about to start with. The talk about not being able to share opinions/give advice etc is bollocks btw (not directing that comment to the mole here, just people in general). I personally class myself able to give some advice/decent thoughts to any player on any hand if they ask for it, as can many players on here I am sure. Just cos a player is on a higher level does not make them infallable to mistakes or anything, great professionals make mistakes all the time its the way it is. I say all this cos I notice a lot of people seem to take what the mole says as gospel or something, it isnt that its just an opinion (a well informed one I am sure) and the fact he is now mainly using max buy in is proof of that.

voiceofjoe Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: Min/Max Buy In Agree with your comments Mole -the min buy in is fine,when first putting your toes in the water, but if you are regularly beating the table then not going in with the max buy in is costing you money.

robilaruk Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: Min/Max Buy In I'm not sure we can I had some short term success with that strategy, but you need to hit hands early before the blinds go through you twice (three times at most) you get a hand in the first orbit and you will get paid Damo There was never any question in my mind max buy in was the way forward to make the most money if youre a good player.

robilaruk Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: Min/Max Buy In I agree everyone makes mistakes and changes their strategy - for now mole has, it might change - but in the end it is peoples own comfort zone that counts we can all offer advice and thoughts, but no one is actually right - from my perspective the only 'right' way given what limited knowledge we have is mathematically (i.e. I am giving/getting the correct odds to force the error/make the correct call) I would say that professionals make less mistakes than us mere mortals, and that is why they are professionals Damo Just cos a player is on a higher level does not make them infallable to mistakes or anything' date=' great professionals make mistakes all the time its the way it is.
