| Winnings Threshold???? I play on UB and usually play the .05/.10 cash tables and I'm having a problem breaking $15.00 on a table. I buy in for $5 usually and I can get the money up to ~15.00 but can't break through. And it seems like once I get there the money just starts to dwindle away back to ~10.00. I have paid attention to the way I play once I get over $10 and I really don't see much of a change. Should I leave the table and bank my profits when I hit $15 or is this just psychological? |

| could be a couple things. 1) you are tightening up to protect your profits. it's much easier to push with a small stack because you have a small expectation of losing. but when you triple up the ammount you bought in for, you either get too tight or too loose. sounds like you are playing tight. 2) depending on how long it is taking you to get to $15, the table could have a good read on you by that time because you are not varying your play. if that is the case, you might as well walk away and look for a new table. either way, it is no longer a profitable situation if you cannot earn any more money at your current table. i'd look for a new game. |

| re: Winnings Threshold???? poker I know you're probably right about protecting my money too much, but I really don't see it. I've been trying to stick to a plan and it's working, but just can't break the barrier. I'm gonna record one of my sessions today and see if I can spot something. I may put it on here and see if you might be able to do the same. And, tenbob, the reason I only buy in for half is the same problem I'm having here. This has been going on for a while now and it's bothering me. It just seems more profitable to buy in for $5 and profit $10 than to buy in for $10 and profit $5. |
