Default Re: question about building a bankroll

[ QUOTE ]
I can afford to play the higher limits because i hit a bad beat jackpot online recently. Also, was lucky with a few mid level tournaments locally. I had people who tell me why dont you just try and build a bankroll like the guys on tv. Im curious for the high limit players..... what's your motivation for building a bankroll? Is it to have a better lifestyle or do you just want to play the highest limits possible? In my case after the bad beat jackpot i just withdrew most of my funds and invested it.

The motivation to build a bigger bankroll? To make a higher wage and have a smaller chance of going broke. My formula is 500 big bets at the second highest level you play + 50 big bets at the highest level, a couple of buyins. If you lose the excess at the top level then drop to second level until you build up another buyin or two to take a shot at the higher level again. If you fail a few times then consider not moving up for a while.
