Why are you selling to games outside of your bankroll? Are there not enough games that fit your BRM?
To reduce the impact on our bankroll but still be able to play those games? Abi is like 4$, this big field tournaments with lots on top are high variance, mixing it up with lower field sizes on partypoker and unibet (and stars most of the time). It doesn't make sense for you?
