Less is more

One of the annoying things about the PokerStars lobby is that the maximum buy in for a table isn't apparent until you're in the process of joining a table. If you only want to join a table with a particular max buy in, you're reduced to trial and error. Last night, after a couple of false starts, I decided to settle for a table with a $20,000 max buy in, instead of my usual $40,000. Luckily for me, it turned out to be a case of less is more :-) I ended up tripling my starting stack. I'm not sure if this result had anything to do with the change in max buy in, but I can't rule out the possibility. I don't think I played any differently, but perhaps my opponents did. Just for fun, and to gather additional information, tonight I'll specifically try to join a $20,000 max buy in table.
