If your a winning player, why would you ever move down limits???????

[john kane]

this is something ive wondered about. thought i post it.

I hear of players moving down limits after a downsing.

Why would you ever do that?

say your playing 5-10 limit, ring game. Bankroll required 300BB = $3,000


so you deposit $3,000

if you went down to $2,200 after a few sessions, why would you then move down limits?


some say you should move down to 4-8 or 3-6, BR required $2,400 or $1,800. but why??????

i remember reading an article by caro (i think) showing the maths behind requiring 300BB. Surely having a BR of $3,000 initially should mean you should always play 5-10L, as you should be able to cover the worst downswings in the long run (unless you arent a good player).

just something ive been wondering about.

replies would be much appreciated.
