Message: [QUOTE="Allsopp, post: 457812, member: 10295"] Hey meideiros. In poker there is generally one way to make alot of money. Thats being the table captain. This is true in both tournaments and cash games and this is also a good reason why you dont have to differentiate your play that much between tournies and cash games - contrarary to what some pro's tell you. Many more pro's will tell you that there aren't great differences. This brings me to the point of always buyin in with the maximum. You should always do this because, straight away in cash games you can jump ahead of the players that haven't even got the maximum buy in in front of them. The person on the table with the most chips is nearly always the table captain. The benefits of this are numerous but mainly: - People will generally, never make moves against you because they see you as a dangerous player. If you have $110 in front of you and the maximum buy in is $50, you are nearly always a good player and therefore people are less likely to take you on. Which makes playing the game much easier for you. - People are afraid of you. You have the collateral to bust ANYONE on the table. This instantly makes scared money, TERRIFIED money. As a result, almost anytime you bet - if your opponent doesn't have much, they will fold. If you dont believe me, get a big stack and try it yourself! - You have win equity. This means that you can win the absolute maximum with your monster hands, simply because you have more chips - which sets you on your journey to becoming table captain alot sooner than picking up all these small pots! Granted, you can also lose more. But a good poker player shouldn't be commiting large portions of his stack in a hand unless he has the nuts anyway. - You retain the most fold equity on the table. This means that you have enough chips to make people fold. If you can bust someone by having more chips than them, they are less likely to heap pressure on you in hands. Rather than when you only have 1/2 the maximum buy in and big stacks with constantly try to bully you - simply because if you reraise them all in you simply dont have enough chips to hurt their stack. Some may argue that this is beneficial because you will always get pair off. But at the same time you will also get called alot and sucked out on when people make value calls and you will also get bullied around alot. There are many more reasons why you should always buyin with the maximum and I could explain in more detail the reasons I've given, but I'd be here all day! If anyone wants me to elaborate - just ask! Good luck at the tables! [/QUOTE]
