Moving up and building a roll is not a linear process. The less nitty you are with BRM, the more often variance will force you back down a limit. As the levels increase, typical win rates for even the top players decrease dramatically to the point where 20+ BI downswings are not atypical. Nittier BRM avoids more "forced move downs."

Poker is a game where we keep moving up UNTIL WE CAN'T BEAT IT ANY MORE, and then hang out there. Nittier BRM will allow folks more time at each higher, harder level to adjust and be able to beat it. At some point, the BR nits will keep moving up while those with less nitty requirements will start the yo-yo process up and down between a level they can barely beat and one they can't beat at all.

One or two BI at 10nl or 25nl is NOTHING in the long term, but it's all you seem capable of focusing on.
