Default Re: Is it normal to always feel quite nervous before a game

Your bankroll requirements are quite a bit on the small side if you want to ensure a reasonable chance of not going bust (assuming you're a winning player of course). The standard requirement for limit is a 300 BB bankroll. That would be $2400 for 4/8 or $9000 for 15/30. Granted that sounds a like a lot to get started, but it will significantly lower the chance of you losing it all due to a bad run.

Since you've started off well at 4/8 you can hopefully get by with a smaller initial investment but I think you should definitely delay moving up in stakes until you work your way up to close to 300 BBs at the next level up (when the competition will also toughen).
