$1 rebuy Donakament on Friday.

Low limit Tuesday night home game with buddies, some of whom would not be able to play if we raised the limits.

This, after I used to run out of the house every time I heard about a $10 tournament when I first started playing. It is a natural growth and apportionment of time and value. I receive high value playing with good friends, no matter what the stakes. I receive high value from playing appropriate stakes with strangers. I receive almost no value from playing low-stakes with people I don’t know or don’t like.

Doesn’t make me a degenerate; just gives me another trait I share with one.

I guess that makes me President!

I know what you mean though, I have a breaking-point somewhere, I’m just not sure what limit it is. I’ll play a cheap buy-in MTT and eventually just think to myself, “If I don’t finish 1st or 2nd, this won’t be worth it.” Five hours just isn’t worth the $20 or so for 7th place, especially when it is nice outside.

Not neccessarily, but it might mean you are putting too much stock into the value of the chips.

Friendly home games will always be that, but remember 1/2NL live =! 1/2 NL on the internet.

Very different games and not just the visual aspects of it (Rake and skill level are two differences).
