Martingaling irrespective of the environment is a high risk low return venture that in the long run very rarely works out well, capped or uncapped. At least with a capped table in Blackjack your not going to get a chance to blow your entire account (unless it small in consideration to the max bet size).Originally Posted by ;
Poker players of the professional kind use sound money management. Chris Ferguson actually stated that as a participant your capital preservation is crucial and that too many players risk way more than they ought to thereby handicapping there possible to get on a run. He states that a participant should split there entire capital in drama by 20 and that is the maximum they ought to risk in any 1 time. So if your capital base was $1000 you should just risk $50. Now to extract maximum value from the $50 he proceeds to say that they table limits should allow at least 100 big blinds (variations for ante tables) so to get a participant with $1000 they ought to be playing in the maximum at 25c/50c dining table. Regrettably and I can agree with this is that tables with these dividers are usually manned by individuals who don't have any respect for the money management side so having a solid comprehension of hand strengths and probabilities is a key today to both online and table poker.
Is there anyway to separate poker from gaming, well that depends on your view on gaming. Professional poker players can liken it but thats a different ball game. Trading could have the exact same viewpoint...
Sound money abilities nevertheless can help you to live more but I guess when the time is correct and you find yourself with a stastical edge or a high likelihood hand it is time to place some risk and faith in your abilities.
