BM does and will always make me think of Bowel Movement, and I hope we all have a good, safe, clean set of BM rules that we live by (use a toilet, try to avoid back-splash, etc.), but we don't need to share those rules with the team.royalbaconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161270363498369220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012366747492399470.post-26379187728374615052007-11-20T10:11:00.000-08:002007-11-20T10:11:00.000-08:00Jason, Marsh called you out about your bankroll ma...Jason, Marsh called you out about your bankroll management, where it seems that your desired stakes and your bankroll have produced your BM rules, instead of your BM rules and your bankroll combining to define your stakes.<BR/><BR/>If you lost $100 of your bankroll on a bad run, would you move down to the .05/.10 game, per your bankroll-management rules, or would your BM rules suddenly become, "I will play 1/8th of my roll, and once a week I will play 1/4."<BR/><BR/>I mean, you have stated before that you won't play below .10/.25 because it's too small for you to play with discipline: has this changed, or are these BM rules you've laid out just a smokescreen for you to play at the stakes you want to play at while appearing to adhere to some BM rules?<BR/><BR/>-----------------<BR/><BR/>As for the O8 hand with the set of fours...<BR/><BR/>I would not have check-raised with the nut-low set with an ace on board and a PF raiser. PF raises at O8 frequently mean AAxx, so when I flop a low set on an ace-high board in that spot, I want to bet out and see what the PF aggressor does. If I get a stiff raise, I can actually let that set go, that's how common it is for the PF raiser to have AA in O8. By check-raising, you didn't give yourself any way to get away from it. And bottom set in O8, by Ryan's conversion standards, is a little better than (but closer to) bottom pair in hold'em...it's not a check-raising hand, it's a "bet out and see what kind of response I get" hand.<BR/><BR/>If the "X" card made a low possible, it would be harder because I might think villain was just raising with the nut low, but it's a tough spot. Again, I have found the toughest spot in O8 to be facing a raise with a low on board when you have a good but non-nut high.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129622740872167902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012366747492399470.post-14367337801509013022007-11-19T14:09:00.000-08:002007-11-19T14:09:00.000-08:00LOL this is pretty classic Jason here:I will risk ...LOL this is pretty classic Jason here:<BR/><BR/><I>I will risk up to 1/6 of my bankroll at any one time about once a week, otherwise risk no more than 1/12.</I><BR/><BR/>Even his fractions are in 3's.
