If I wound up similiar to excession or iceman where I made make a significant profit

LOL thanx but there is a huge gap in skill and winnings between me and Ice - Ice has probably won 10x as much as me and has played up to the the $1000 NL tables. He is probably on a par with Xast, Kenny, D-roqqa etc.. just doesn't play full time.

Your best model for the $10-20k winners bracket is probably Luparfiend - he has done it a lot faster than me...Allstar's progress is also pretty stellar though you would have to be a student/unemployed or insomniac to imitate it..

I'm currently reading through all the archives on bankroll management throughout the web. It appears that most posters would agree with you. It appears that I need to give this more thought. Thanks for the response.

I think stepping up to play $200NL full stacked with only $4000 is still asking for trouble (assuming that you are not an experienced $200 player).

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..
