High Stakes Poker

[RadManiac]

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I watched cash game on Triton poker TV. With an average pot of 20 000$. I wanted to ask you here in the comunity what do you think about high stakes poker? Is it just gambling with that amount of cash in average pots? And what do you think average high stakes player should have, more money? or more guts ?
Cheers

To some people $20,000 is like $200 .

I second this. As you go up in stakes, I believe most players become desensitized to the cash value.

IMHO I think those levels of play money for winning feeling and sit down to play for those sums is to have guts also for some people will be a lot of money and others do not ...

What he said, I have an aunt in jewelry industry who perceives money value as at least 10 times less than I do. So if I earn lets say 500$ a month than 50$ is a lot on poker, but if I earn 5000$ a month than 50 wouldn't hurt so much.

It is necessary to watch their game, learn, learn and learn again and soon you will be at their table. Well, I hope so.

If you still follow good bankroll management and have enough money such pots are not something so special. It is like the blinds in MTT - 50BB are 50BB no matter if the blind level is 50/100 or 5000/10000.

High stake game requires you to have a few major live tournament results. But still self-control is needed to avoid falling into the big losers' camp.

I think once you are properly bankrolled for whatever stake you are playing you will be fine.

What you watched on TV is just TV show! It serves to promote poker. I like to watch this, but I do not think there are many similarities with the real one High Stakes Poker

high stakes is not for ordinary people, you need to have specific nature for that
