The problem is that as soon as you lose any money you are playing under bankrolled and at a higher level than you have before and this is bound to affect your play.
You could easily have a bad hour or two when 4 tabling $200 NL and lose 5 buy-ins (a quarter of your roll). Psychologically you options are then to 'take a shot' under bankrolled or to drop down demoralised and back to the $50's where it will take a long grind to get back to where you were before you moved up.
The biggest bankroll related mistakes are moving up too fast and overstimation of your own abilities - move up because you have had 30k hands worth of solidly winning poker shown on PT, not because your roll has reached 20x the buy-in..Statistics: Posted by excession — Tue Jul 18, 2006 6:59 am
