Re: Bankroll and Moving up
I take shots with 15 buyins for the level I'm shooting for. I play 4 tables there to limit losses, if I'm in the mood to 9 table then the rest are tables for my current level. I play this way until I lose 5B (net) at that level (leaving 20B for my current level).
About half the time it works and I stay at the higher level. The other half of the time I run breakeven for a while then eventually end up -5B from what I started with, and move back down.
This approach does wonders for your skill (opponents get better, robot-stacking donks does nothing for your game), and of course, your bankroll grows exponentially. This is why I've always said that if you are serious about using poker as a source of income, you are a fool to cash out of your bankroll in the early stages of your career (i.e. SSNL).
