LOL! I've never been locked out of a game. Out of a casino...YES! Well, we all have bad runs but you seem to have found a way to not fall off the plank or not fall too far, in any event. So how confident are you? Let us say you are going on the road for 2 months for mainly 20/40. What kind of a stake (I won't say "gambling" stake) would you think sufficient? Or would you just tap into your main resources as needed? Five hours is not much time when the cards are not running or you're not getting their money into the pot when you would like. How often do you find yourself breaking even or with a negligible variance either way?? I'm just reminded of another important quality in successful poker. How much you don't lose in a hand is part of your winnings. Many can never stop bleeding 20 dollar bills away at the turn or river and I have been guilty of that myself. But I think most of my mistakes are known to me now and I know when I am choosing to play badly as strange as that sounds...
