Default Re: A Bankroll Question

You will go through downswings. It does not matter if you are the greatest player on earth, how good your reads are, or how experienced a player you are. Recently some of the more experienced posters here have had horrific downswings.

If you are not afraid of redepositing your real $$ despite your excellent play - then keep playing above your bankroll will allow. I never plan on putting any more real $$ into online poker. In order to do this - I MUST play within the bankroll rule. When I can beat the current level and have the $$ to move to the next level, I will.

With $450 in your bankroll 2/4 is sooo far above your head. I am not saying you cannot play at that level - but playing within your bankroll is part of the game also. I would be sure that you can at least beat 1/2 (mabye even .5/1) over 10,000 hands and have 300BB before moving to 2/4. After you prove you can win 2BB/100 at 1/2 and have the bankroll to play 2/4 ($1200-1500) - then move up.
