>> 'High stakes' is all relative as I've pointed out here before. blah blah...

First line, agree, no-one has ever said otherwise. What is highstakes then? A loss that would be meaningful to the player, something that could be felt. Or a win that would change things significantly?

I have no idea what high-stakes are if you should quantify it, but for BG moneyplay, I guess 1‰ of your yearly income per point would be a good starting point...

Anyway,

>> I would never be pressured by the stakes I'm playing for with my own money.

By that, do you mean your ER would never be affected by the stakes, no matter how high, as long as it is your own money. Or do you mean that you would never play for your own money at stakes high enough for your ER to suffer?

(Personally I think the latter makes very good sense, but I'm not on the Giant list).

No one responded to my post as it intended: Do you think higher stakes at the DK vs. W challenge would have affected ERs? 10 times the actual stakes for instance?
