Does "source" of bankroll matter for moving up?

You can easily beat the $1-$2, ya 'nut, so why not try the $2-$4 as long as you have the bankroll for it? Come play $3-6 with us this Saturday. It plays a lot like the Party $2-$4.

If a strong player moves up slower than he should, he is clearly sacrificing a great deal of EV by playing smaller stakes.

90% of players "think" they have what it takes to move up.

Too much pride to admit to themselves or anyone else that they can still get better.

Everyone can get better. I prolly have a jizload of leaks in my game, but that sure as hell isn't gonna make me stay at micro limits until I plug those leaks.

My guess is that you are underestimating what a solid bankroll consists of. You won a single 20+2 SNG, which is a net gain of $78, and those 19.5 big bets are now enough to give you a 2/4 bankroll? 19.5 big bets should be next to negligable in terms of bankroll considerations. Are you using a healthly bankroll? That of course means 200 big bets minimum unless you plan to rebuy when you go bust. I don't use the term minimum lightly though. I wouldn't consider using a bankroll of 400 big bets to be overly conservative at all.

I don't think it matters unless you made a promise with yourself to only use game winnings. The bankroll requirements are to protect you from going broke, not to make you play to a certain capability.

If you have to ask something like this I cant see how you are ready to move up.
