Bankroll Management

[MathBabe]

I never looked at as 'what level do I want to play, therefore what bankroll do I need'... I started with the maximum amount of money I figured I could afford to deposit and lose, and worked backwards from that bankroll to figure out what level I could play at.

I think the point is that if I have $300 on deposit, technically the 300BB rule means I can play .50/1 limit... but only if that $300 is truly my bankroll. If I can afford to lose another $2,700, I just don't happen to have deposited it, then that's really my bankroll. If that were the case I'd feel free to play 5/10 if I felt like it.

When I had $60 at one site and $240 at another, I didn't play .01/.02 at one and .05/10 at the other... I figured my bankroll was $300 and played .50/1 at both.
