Those of you blessed enough to play high stakes poker like $900 or more bye in! Do you play more caseous than if you were in a $10 game? Or do you stick to your game plan no matter what the stakes are? One more thing id like to know if your a high stakes player playing for $50,000 or higher payouts do you even bother playing $5 or $10 or less games!
Have played everythng from freerolls to $1000 buy ins online and live cash,
Was more of a gambler when a younger man in my 20s with 25 to 30k in the bank had no problem putting a k or 2 on the felt as had no children or serious responsibilities,
As a 40 year old man and now a Father though even in a better financial situation asset wise and with more responsibility anyway would prefer to keep it off the felt and play lower stakes as have dependents that I will not let down if bust everything.
You have to make adjustments and mix it up for the level you play speed also format and different disciplines makes a huge difference ko games for example play different to normal games as you probably know,
I can gladly have tables open playing freerolls,$10 games or playing championship events with huge prizepools at the same time still enjoy each game still find it fun.
High stakes though is serious pressure for people unless they are really wealthy and can afford to lose many buy ins this is where the many people who are not extremely wealthy ruin themselves on the downswing forum is full of hard luck stories many more than successful huge winning stories but there is plenty of really successful massive winning players too so this all depends on the player really.
