Back to the Bankroll Builders

Last night, luckily for me, no Hot 50K was on offer when I logged onto PokerStars, so I played a Bankroll Builder instead. I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to go back to Hot 50Ks; their paid percentile is simply too rich for my blood. In round numbers, you need to outlast 83% of the field to make the money in a Hot 50K, whereas you only need to outlast 73% of the field to make the money in a Bankroll Builder. That extra 10% kills my profit potential in Hot 50Ks stone cold dead. If I never play another Hot 50K again, it will be far, far too soon.
