Default Re: Bankroll for $10/20

I don't know what all the fuss is regarding bankrolls. If you have 300BB (or whatever seems reasonable) you can play the game. If you lose 50BB you need to re-evaluate you bankroll and maybe drop down a level.

If you make some decent BBs, then maybe you can move up.

The main points being:-
-you move down if you hit a downswing
-you don't move up just because your bankroll has increased. You move up when it's +EV. And if paying for higher stakes education with BBs is +EV for you in the long term, then so be it.

Some people say you should keep to your guns and play your way out of a downswing. This isn't good advice. A downswing can last longer than you can remain solvent.
