Exactly, I have NO problem dropping down levels. I haven't had to reload
since Sept 2003 and have cashed out about $1500. I make too much money at
my day job to consider going pro, it's just a hobby for me. However, I
have wanted to move up limits so I take a shot at higher limits when I hit
a bankroll that seems comfy to me. If I lose, like last night, I
immediately move back down. In fact, after the $250 loss at 5/10 I went to
2/4 and won $78. One of these times my cards might hold up and I'll be
able to stay at 5/10.

I've done that at UB on the NL tables. It's like shooting fish in a barrel
until someone with a clue finally joins. Shorthanded NL is probably my
strongest game, but I want to improve at limit. I hadn't thought of
starting the table at limit since I don't have any shorthanded limit
experience. Maybe I'll go down to 1/2 and practice some of that.
