I'm just wondering if I really need atleast $2500 to play at the 100NL level. My bankroll is $1500-2000. I've made $680, but I'm willing to risk my own money as well. I think if I play a solid TAG game, there is no reason I should down. However, I don't feel that i should move up to 200NL until I have about $13,000-15,000.
Hi,

Please be careful, you sound like a good player. I used to have your attitude, something along the lines of (meh 10-15 buyins, close enough)
You will eventually go down SOME, it's that whole variance thing.
25 buyins in a nice confort zone for NL and you dont have to worry about downswings too much. I play 6 max, which tends to have a little more variance that full ring, but still dont play underrolled. It's a recipe for disaster that you dont need.

Peace,

Drew
