Finding Your Comfort Zone - Betting Limit

"If you want to live happy, live in danger- Nietzsche", to live in danger is to take risks because all the great opportunities that life offers come with great risks. Risking gives this great pleasure and excitement; this is what gambling is all about, the pleasure of risking. But risking is not only about a game, it is also about a way of living. Someone who takes risks is someone who is not afraid, not attached to something to the level of being afraid to risk. Poker games are not only for those who can afford to lose. When you set a betting limit it should be an amount that you will not mind losing anyway.

The great thing about Poker risks is that the more you win the more you can also potentially lose. Something that makes your risk more fun and that rewards your courage for increasing the limits of your potential loss in case you win. The betting limit that you choose shows the control you want to have over your losses. Far too many players do not know when to quit especially when they are in the red. Betting limits are there for your own protection and they are set by each player who knows his game and that they are playing a game of chance to some degree.

The betting limit can save some of the player's money for another day when they may have better results.One way to finding your comfort zone with betting limit is to look at how much money you bet over time in every game where there is a cash ante you played. Note how much of that money you have lost outright and how much you have won. Average out the amounts you have lost and use that figure as your betting limit. You should also take careful note on how losing this amount of money will impact you daily life. Makes no sense to have a mortgage to pay and your limit leaves you without any money to do so.

The probability of winning a thousand dollars for example through five dollar games is very low, it is very hard and very rare that someone could do that, but on the other hand, if you bet a thousand dollars the chance of winning it is not as low. But you should also not bet to the limit of being in debt if you lose, taking risks is, in life as in poker games, a very hard business, but one should always be smart at choosing his risks, and also be brave.
