It is so much easier for me to play stronger when playing just beyond my limit. If I ventured too far outside my realm, at this point I play at the $30-50 SnG, I push too much and feel uncomfortable.

I recently tried a new approach to BR in order to stay safe and also parlay a little at the same time.

I had a home base level and BR of $1000/30+3 level.

I play 4 tables at a time, so if my BR ever got to at least 220 I moved to the 50s to take a shot. I would continue to play at the 50s unless my BR dropped back to $1000.

I think this could work well for any proven good player starting from the 10s and moving up. I took an ass beating at the 50s so I stopped doing this. wasnt worth it for me because I need that money to pay rent.

If you are a winning player at both levels you do this for then it should work. It may give you that edge in your mind you need to play top poker. PLaying slightly out of your means with a backdoor out if there is trouble.
