Moving Down Limits
It is important to ensure that part of your bankroll strategy is to move back down limits if your bankroll has suffered because of poor play or a poor run of cards.
If for example you have moved to the $1-2 limit level based on achieving a target bankroll of $900 and your bankroll subsequently falls below $900 you should then move back down to the $0.50-1.00 limit until you have rebuilt your bankroll to $900.
In general players do not have the discipline to follow such a strategy. It can be emotionally difficult to drop down limits because it means that it will take longer to recover your losses. However, it is the only way to ensure that your bankroll is protected in the long run. If you want to play Texas Hold’em long enough to learn how to apply the skills to investing then this is the only option that will work.
