:/ Heh, if you HAVE $40, then tell us your bankroll is $40, not $10. If you want to turn $10 into $1000 and end up re-depositing, the extra amount you deposit disqualifies you from meeting your goal because now you're really turning $40 or $50 into $1000 or losing it and depositing more to put you even further away from $10. If you're truly following bankroll management, you shouldn't have to redeposit at all after you jump up one or two levels because you'd have to FALL 3 levels before you'd ever need to redeposit and you should always drop levels when you hit 20 buy-ins.

You said you moved up to $10NL when you had $50?! That's only 5 buy-ins. I think you should have 30 buy-ins before you move up, so if you used half of that #, you'd need 15 buy-ins using your logic. Other people think 20 buy-ins is good enough before you move up, even though I STRONGLY disagree with that, but if you used that logic, you'd need 10 buy-ins to move up if you cut it in half. There's not one sane, successful player that I know about who thinks 10 buy-ins is enough to move up let alone cutting that # in half to be 5.

Then you moved up to $25NL @ 100?! That's only 4 buy-ins. I mean, are you joking? If you want to see if you can turn $10 into $1000, be my guest and I WILL root you on, but don't use the words bankroll management when you're playing the games you're playing with bankroll you have. It's possible you might do it NOT following good bankroll management which you ARE NOT, but more likely you won't and the more you play the more likely you won't.

If you want to continue this "bankroll management" charade, you need to like, you know, actually practice good bankroll management. Cutting the #'s in half makes it, by definition, NOT good bankroll management.  If I have misunderstood what you're saying and you REALLY are practicing good bankroll management, please correct me where I've misunderstood you.
Here's the thing, there are about a zillion players who ROUTINELY try this type of thing EVERY day. They fall into one of two distinct groups: FISH and PROS taking on prop bets or playing out of boredom. About 99% of them are fish. If you are a developing player, it is virtually impossible to do this not following good bankroll management. If you are an accomplished player, you MIGHT be able to do this if you looked @ your largest downswing @ each stake and set that as your buy-in requirements to that #. Even then, it's a gamble because sometimes you run worse than you ever have or ever thought possible.

Good luck, though, whatever path you choose to get this goal. I do wish players success but I also urge them to make sound decisions both on and off the poker felt.
