Anyway, what is your BR management criteria? 30x buy-ins? Although I have hardly played since mid December I still play $200NL with a 14k bankroll.
ya i ve thought about a prolonged break

problem is, I've spent probaby 50-70% of my poker playing days on prolonged breaks for one reason or another.

I'm finally getting myself to play regularly, am sitting in awesome games but just running like shit.

For once, I'm really getting good at leaving my ego away from the tables, not worrying about outplaying people and just gunning for the big fish.

I think a break might be a decent idea, but man if I could just string a few decent sessions together...

fwiw I'm working on about 25 buyins right now at nl400 so it's not urgent that I move down, but if I lose say another 4-5 buyins I'll definitely be moving down for a while.

Ideally I'd like to be sitting on about 50 buyins to play optimal aggressive poker that I think would be really +ev (but super swingy) vs the regs. Right now I'm playing anything but that, avoiding slightly +ev 3-bets, squeezes and postflop bluffs, just cuz the games are so good that I shouldn't need to do that to beat them.

thx for the thought though, it's definitely something I'm considering.
