Posts 6817 I think buying in for 100bb is fine if you are just starting out / just moved up, also allows you to move up faster etc. Anyway, going broke with AA on a Queen high rag flop in a 3bet pot is more or less never a mistake. But make your raise like.. .40 or maybe even more. Hm.. Off-suite socks..

rgfdxm   United States. Oct 31 2007 18:34. Posts 1514 If you have an edge, the more you buy in for the more you make. Buying in shorter than you can is a damage control measure. When I was underrolled at NL2 I bought in for 100BBs, but as soon as I could I started buying in full. Playing deep is different, since it changes implied odds. But players on NL2 and NL5 are so bad that you can just sit full-stacked and not really worry about it since your edge should be huge if you know how to play decent basic poker.
