so i started with 70 bucs on poker stars.. been so up and down highest ive been at was 140.. im currently at 80.. i usually play the 10 and 25 cent tabels.. but i always have a temptation to switch and go higher limits like the 50 and 1 tables where i keep going down.. how do i tell myself to stay at the 10 25 cent until i have a sufficent bankroll?>
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums?

Technically conventional wisdom states you dont even have the bankroll to play .10/.25. Its generally accepted one needs about 20 max buyins at a given limit to sustain bankroll swings.

yeah, 20 or 30 times the max buy in is the most common advice.

Here's how you can stop:
Repeat the following sentance, and say it outloud 15 times.
"I will go broke if I play beyond my bankroll."
Here are some general bankroll guidelines:
To play:
FL cash games - have 300 BB (big bets) at your current stakes
NL cash games - have 15-35 MAX buyins for your limits
Sngs- have 25-35 buyins (include rake!) for your preferred buyin
MTTs- 20+ buyins
Good Luck.

orrrrrrrrrrrrr you could just take down a big MTT and not have to worry about whether you can move up or not:)

Yeah that would be a cool experiment.
Shove 400$ into a seperate account and ONLY play 10$ MTTs. I suppose that eventually you should win one...
