Shot-taking strategy: how do you do it?

[Bawse]

I don’t really have a set strategy for taking shots in bigger games or tournaments, but I’m curious how others approach it.

When do you decide to take a shot at higher buy-ins?

Shot-taking is not about the fun alone. Many people are jumping into higher stakes when they just had a small win. I tried that thing once, I lost everything same night. It was a very painful lesson. Now I only take shots when I get a proper reason, not when I am emotionally high.

I set aside a separate "shot fund" from my main roll. If I lose it, I drop back down and don't beat myself up. No reloading from the main stash. Later, I pick a good game, soft table, good mood, well-rested. One shot attempt per session max.
