Don't. There's no reason to have fewer than 12 BB in your stack at the beginning of any given hand. Period.

You're here because you want to learn. That's another way of saying that you're trying to recognize the difference between +EV and -EV plays. Improving the way you manage your stack is one of the easiest +EV moves you'll ever make.

If it's some sort of stop-loss thing, quit when you drop from 25 to 15 BB... or just get over it. It's all one long session. Stop when you don't feel like playing any more, or you have something better to do, or you don't think you're capable of bringing your A game.

It's easy enough to give away money at the best of times. Why do anything to make things harder on yourself?
