Are Small Bankrolls Even Worth It??

[egordo877]

this might be contrary to the conventional advice, but I would borrow and play the stakes that you want to play at (being reasonable of course). when you play on a short bankroll you tend to put yourself through more emotional stress needlessly, win or lose. but at the same time, i can relate to needing to play big enough so that its interesting.

also, there is nothing wrong with buying in shorter.

if you can't borrow though, you simply need to exert some discipline and grind your way up. And hopefully when you do have your desired several thousand dollar bankroll you will have the willpower to stay at that level for a while and be sure that you can grind out a nice earn for yourself, rather than continually wanting to move up to bigger games when you are not properly rolled for it.
