"Over-Rolled"

Does this ever happen to anybody?

I've been playing NL$20 with a BR of about $800. I won a tourney today, bumped it up to $1.3K and decided to keep playing NL$20. Well after a while I had dropped that down about 7BI. I dropped about 2 BI through badbeats and a QQ<KK. But the rest I feel like I played too loose.

Do you guys get bored of the limit you are at and start playing recklessly? Should I bump it up to NL$50 till at least it drops under $1K? I like the fish at NL$20..I ran $400 up to $800 in a few weeks so I feel that is where I can do the most profit if I play at my best.

Thanks in advance guys.

Over rolled is a relative term. if you feel over rolled and think you are ready to move up...then do it...but dont be afraid to move back down.

I personally hate moving back down. Currently, I have over 100 BIs for the level I am playing, however, its there because of a goal I set myself after I had a huge tilt induced downswing and so on.

usually i consider 20 BIs rolled, 30 BIs where I like to be at least, 40 BIs shot taking territory, and 50 BIs over rolled and time to move up. But that is relative to you.

There are two requirements to moving up:

1.) A big enough bankroll

2.) Ability to beat the level you are moving up to (you may want to expand this to say ability to beat the higher level for higher $ per hour than lower level)

Both conditions must be met before you move up.

What bb/100 are you running at?
Over how many hands?

If a decent sample size, play half as many tables and take a shot. If you drop five buy-ins or think the play is much better, go back to picking on the little guys.

I didn't move up to NL50 until I had 1500 so I guess I'm a BR nit too.
