gotta move up ladder eventully and as long as I stay in my bankroll and drop down if I lose too much then not really a problem.

Its not like im playing 3/6 or something chip. Now 3 months ago id be at 2/4 with $150.

No, actually you can play .10/.25 or whatever for the rest of your days if you like, there's certainly no one holding a gun to your head.

Well, Aeq said he'd be stupid to not move up, but I disagree with him. I'm in 100% agreement with you. ESPECIALLY for a guy like Brian, who is known to have gambling tendencies (I'll use that word to be nice), I think it would be a great idea for him to never play anything above the microlimits.

We all know that's not going to happen though.

5c/10c with a $600 bankroll? LOL...

But wait, I forgot who we were dealing with. I stand corrected.

Just because someone wins $600 doesn't mean their bankroll has to be $600. They could certainly spend $500 of it on themselves and the family and keep their bankroll at $100.

Do you really think Greg Raymer's poker bankroll is $5 million (well, whatever it came to after taxes)? I'm guessing it's not. I'm guessing he invested most of it and keeps a couple hundred thousand for his bankroll.

Pros who play for a living are constantly dipping into their bankrolls to pay bills, etc... There is no reason Brian couldn't/shouldn't do the exact same thing and play for fun.

So did Brian move up limits before or after 9:00 PM?

I've got 50 bucks that says he'll be at the 50 NL table by weeks end.
