Probably not a lot of Jeopardy in England.....I have the same problem with finding I have to move up in stakes or it just doesn't feel like I'm winning the same as I was when the BR was smaller.You just have to keep yourself in check, don't move up too fast or it will cost you alot of money as opposed to making it.

Along these lines, I took a chance at a $109 MTT, limit game and won $797 dollars, and was like wow that was easy. I proceeded to go in 7 more or so and didn't win any money.. :cry: I think I went out on the bubble a few times too, just to add salt to the wounds.Very sad with the loss of all my profit plus some.. lesson learned..JackTheCat

Well look at it this way...You got 3500 or what 2700 now..$200 Sng's that's 13 sit and go's that you can play before you go broke.If you win 3 place 2nd in 1 and 3rd in another you will be back above 3500, if my calculations of what the payouts are.To me if you think that you can actually win at this level then continue to play. You moved up pretty fast in your bankroll and you want to continue to push it. You'd have to lose 13 straight sit and go's to go broke. The only thing holding you back right now is the money part. I can almost guarentee that in the past few sit and go's you played you kept checking your bankroll figures and worrying about losing.If you are worried about the money all the time you are going to go broke. So, if you want to continue go right ahead but if losing the money that you earned irks you so bad, cash out 1000 so you atleast can walk away with some money and just let loose with the rest. If you keep it all in your account then you are going to be tempted to "win it all back" if you have another down swing.

Have decided that I will not play these until my bank roll is $10000, thanks for the advice though.
