Sweet spots

Poker is all about finding sweet spots and sticking with them. Thinking about the high risk I'd incurred by choosing such expensive tournaments to play in upon my return to online poker, I realized I needed to dial things back a bit. There are some tournaments that are simply too pricey to play, given the size of your bankroll. Since my overall balance is a bit under 100 million, on Sunday night I risked over 10% of my bankroll to play in a 10 million buy-in tournament, and I did that not once but twice. Extremely foolhardy, I'll admit. A good rule of thumb is never to risk more than about 5% of your bankroll at any one time. Last night, I played a 5 million buy-in tournament, and made the money again. I could get used to this :-)
