The post above finally puts into words what my thoughts are on BR management

Your BR is the money you have set aside for poker, if i wanted to, I could be immediately be rolled for $200NL but, I decided a fun little trial with $50 and turning it into $10,000

For me, 10NL is perfectly acceptible. No question about it, if I lost that $50, so be it, I'll deposit another $50. My entire BR is not just limited to the $50 I deposited into this site. I just thought it would be neat turning $50. I am not trying to teach anyone the fundamentals of BR management.

The reason I play $10 ring games and micro buy in MTT's is because that is what I am comfortable with, I can play my game playing with "OMG 20% OF MY BR" as some of you "experts" have put it. I thought I would start a fun little thread (which has by the way turned into a disaster...thanks).

Stupid BR management would be going to play .5/1.0 100NL, with all the money i have deposited into carbonpoker.com. I don't feel comfortable playing those stakes, I am not good enough to play those stakes and win consistently, so therefore I am smart enough to not buy in for more than what I am rolled comfortably for. It's the people who maybe FT'd a decent size tourny they were underolled for (in an entire financial point of view) and took that winnings and immediately thought they could go play 1000NL or whatever and go broke and wonder why they went broke so fast.
