Taking shots at higher limits

Regarding B & M,
If your playing a correct limit for you, 40 bb should last you a 7 hr session of running crappy, busting 40 bb at a 3/6 table means your running very poor, or the table is very bad,

Given the variance in B&M games, even up to 20-40, 40 BBs is nothing. There's less variance in tighter/aggressive full games.

I do agree that he should move up to 4-8 as fast as possible. Live 3-6 is training wheels.

I buy in for 25bb, and I have a 90% session win ratio.

Most winning players I know only have around a 50-60% session win ratio. One was in the 40%. Do you just get up a little bit and then leave quickly?

OP: I used to buy in for 25BBs. Then as I got used to playing longer sessions, and digging out of holes and then ignoring where I am at during a session, I will go in for 50-60BBs now. Kinda that pain tolerance thing.

But as someone mentioned in another response, use your normal number of BBs buy in when moving up. You'll want to feel as comfortable as possible and minimize having the new limit(monetary value) creep into your thinking.
