Kevin, re my 335 SNG... I was adopting an innovative approach to bankroll management - nuff said!

Not really, I have learned, through bitter experience (Hi Suzzer [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) that nothing differentiates pro from amateur more than good BRM. But I'm still a donk, so my coping strategy is to allow myself shots at levels outside my bankroll and skill roll when I'm running ahead of my financial expectations. Psychologically, I'm playing with extra money I didn't expect. This means I mentally split the cash into extra profits, and personal pleasure ie playing over my head. Collateral benefits are that as I move up I have no fear of higher levels, and occasionally I make a nice score which subsidises future extra-BRM adventures, while never risking my "true" bankroll.
