A different kind of Bankroll Question

[Nick D]

Thanks for the insight. I appreciate your feedback.

If your current br is a couple hundred bucks and you bump it to a couple thousand bucks you are likely to do one of two things:
1. You will no longer care about the money at the micros and start making calls because "it's only an x" and your play will suffer. You need to care something about the money but not enough that one pot is going to give you coniptions.
2. You will move up to a stake you aren't ready for and lose money you can't replace, ending up playing the micros again except jaded because of where you've been.

Both of these lead to poker becoming something you have to do instead of something you want to do.

What is poker to you? Is it going to be more than a hobby? If not why drop enough to get started in pretty much any other hobby on it? If you really can't think of something better to spend it on, take it someplace where you can play live

Nick, move up one level, if you feel comfortable there, play about 10k hands and see where you are. feel like taking another shot after that? go for it.

I don't think many of the people you are asking know enough about you or how you play to offer sound advice.
