Lets say you just move up to nl200 with 20 BI, 4K

lets say your first session pretty standard you get noobed left and right and lose 8BI

Your roll is now 2400, you say ok w/e Ill play tomorrow

You play a swingy session and end up down 3 BI
roll - 1800

1 more shot, sick downswing 5BI...

obv at some point in time you might drop to nl100 but I dont ever see how 20BI is enough for any lvl above nl50

( no did this not happen to me )

20 buyins as a roll has gradually increased to where people would like thirty or more. In any case, you should have a comfort point at the level below you where you are very confident you could rebuild from. When you hit that amount of money, you need the discipline to move down.

Also, after you lose 8 BIs. The next day you only have 12 BIs left. If you stick to the 20 BI rule, you aren't playing that level anyway...And you have 24 for the level below you.
