Stop taking shots at limits you can't afford. It's that simple.

Figure out what "can't afford" means.

Its not like Im a moron who cant beat the game. My PT has me running at 7BB/100 over 15k hands at .5/1, and at over 6BB/100 after about 8k at 2/4 ...

Sample size, yada, yada, yada. Do you run well at limit and then throw it away at NL? If not, how do you tilt away money at limits you're beating at ridiculously high winrates?

Of course, 8k hands is nothing. People here play 10x that in a month. Maybe you need more hands under your belt before you know you're a winner? Tilting is not the same as playing poorly or running bad as you know.

I'm just sayin'...

big bet size x 300 for full games
up to x500 for shorthanded
this is assuming limit games

There comes a point when playing your bankroll/stakes ratio gets too high where benkruptcy is a near certainty. So, before you sit at the 1000NL table with only 2 grand behind, remind youreself that doing so is most likely throwing away $2000.
