I would like to know what everyone's thoughts are on entering Bj tournaments while on a week or month long trip. Do you risk giving up your identity for a chance of splitting a 100k pot or less?
I live and work in 2 different parts of the country. Where I live there are some very lucrative tournaments in a 250 mile radius. I keep my A.p. play to a minimum at home because I am saving my face and profile for a time that I will not be required to travel as much in the future (hopefully 5 years or less) In the area I work it is possible for me to visit a different store 4 nights a week with a choice of more than one store to play. There is very little local interest in tournament play in the areas I work.
Since I began counting I have married and started a business and spent my bankroll starting my business to generate more and steady income. I had a very slow and expensive start up but I can finally see a bright light at the end of the tunnel. I have what I would consider a replenishable br of 10k. If I lost 1500.00 a week for a month of play it wouldn't be detrimental to my lifestyle. My wife would only suggest I slow down, practice, and analyze my mistakes.
Any ideas of using or not using tournament play to build a definite bankroll (for lack of a better word)? I have won 2, and placed 2nd in Bj tourney's (low stakes) while traveling to my work destinations these tourney's are in a state that require an ante to play live bj rarely do I play any live ante games.
