Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Like, I had, like, no bankroll.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Like, even me playing 2-5 was stupid.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

So to lose, like, two-thirds of my bankroll in, like, literally, like, six hours was...

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

I had to take a few days off after that.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

It was pretty brutal.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Yeah, it was brutal.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

I was like, back to $0.50 I go.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Like, I can't.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

No more 2.5.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

2.5, I think.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Yeah, because truthfully, I think that like 5.10 and above gets a lot of regs.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

And I don't think that like, to be honest, I think that especially when you're in Vegas and the games are so good here.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

But it's like you can go play Aria 2.5 and buy in for $1,500.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Or you can go play 5-10 and buy in for like 5K.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

But the 2-5 are all of the like recreational like visitors and stuff that are like coming to just kind of like splash around, have a good time.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

And then 5-10 is a lot of the pros that like live in Vegas and like need to play higher stakes to play their bills.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

I'm like, I would rather book a 1K win in a 2-5 game than, like, a 3K win in a 5-10 game because I don't think that the 3K win in the 5-10 game is coming nearly as frequently as the 2-5 game.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

You know what I mean?

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Yeah, yeah, makes sense.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

So 2-5, I think, is the sweet spot for me right now.
