I finally just grew some balls and took a 150BB shot and never looked back.... I guess what made it easy was the fact that I did run very good for the first 100 or so hours.

Uh, yeah. Which is why your association of playing higher with "growing balls" makes you sound like a donkey. I love nothing more than playing against opponents eager to show their virility by making ill-considered bluffs and calls.

Playing up with 150 BBet is probably fine, provided you can move back down if you start out bad. But when it's not a rational decision, rather a matter of "growing balls", then what are you going to say if you get a bad run of cards and have to play down? "I castrated myself and played within my bankroll"?

What a stupid way to approach poker.

I'm not exactly sure why you think what I said is so dumb. Maybe I'm missunderstanding you or whatever.

I set aside 300BB for 8/16 and took the rest to 20 to take a shot. I ran good and didn't need to move down. The growing balls part meant that I didn't know If I could beat the game or not so I "grew some balls" and took a shot. I don't play for a living so I am very comfortable with 300BB and I will still move down if I get to an uncomfortable level.
