Started playing and lost 10 buyins off the bat. [/ QUOTE ] I know that you understand that it's nothing... but seriously; it's like saying: "I went to the store this morning and hit a red light." We'd all love it if every light were green... but nobody even notices a few red ones. Until you can withstand 20 buy-in drops without noticing or caring, your mental game is hurting you. Irieguy |

Re: I moved up and immeditately got hammered
I played the $11s for about 8 months, bonus whored like crazy, then played the $22s for about 5 months and built up a decent bankroll. After some serious cashing out for Christmas/plane tickets/etc. I set aside $990 to take a shot at the $33s last week.
I crashed. And burned. I had to drop back down the $22s and continued on a pretty serious downswing to the point where I almost thought I was going to have to move to the $11s again. I stuck it out and now I'm on my way back up (or at least I think so). Moral of the story: for me, 30 buy-ins isn't close to enough for any given level. Hell, at the $33s, a 10 buy-in drop gets you down to $660 - the 30 buy-in bankroll for the $22s. If you can beat the $11s, then you can beat the $22s. But, the number of buy-ins you need to feel comfortable is completely up to you. If you can't play comfortably and not be super concerned about your bankroll after a 10 buy-in downswing, you need a bigger bankroll. I learned this lesson at the $33s. |

Re: I moved up and immeditately got hammered
Why did you wait until you had 50 buy-ins to move to the 20's?

Re: I moved up and immeditately got hammered
same thing happened to me
i was at 22s bankroll up to 60 buyins (starting from 15), then went on a streak of -35 buyins, moved down to the 11s, realized how easy the 11s were for like 2 weeks, move back up to the 20s and so far i've been basically break even but i don't think i'd ever go back to the 11s unless i absolutely had to |
