Bankroll Management

I could need some advices about bankroll management. So I open a new thread for discussion. At the moment I know that 100BI are enough (even for super turbos with the smaller ROI). I would like to get to know a BR management system, which allows me to move up faster (and also if necessary to move down early enough).

I talk about this in a podcast that's about to come out, but I recommend having 50BI for superturbos, but being willing to fluidly move up and down stakes. If you get down to 30-35BI, move down. Once you have 50BI at the next stake up, move up. This allows you to move up quickly while also having a low risk of ruin. It just requires a lot of discipline to actually move down when you have bad runs.

What would be similar

What would be similar aggressive recommendations for turbos?  30 BIs for the top and 20 for the bottom?

Well, I've always been on the very aggressive side of this, but downswings and tilt made me realize how much it sucks if you ever drop a large portion of your bankroll from playing too high.I'm now playing the $115 turbos at Stars and I'll step down to $55's if I drop below $4k - I never, ever want to play any lower than $55 again and staying at the $110's too long during a downswing could seriously risk that.  So I'd rather play overrolled at $55 and quickly move back up than risking too much and eventually dropping even below $55 again.

30 BI to move up, 20 BI to

30 BI to move up, 20 BI to move down is a pretty aggressive strategy for turbos, but as long as you stick to it rigidly, you should still have a fairly low risk of huge loss. I'd recommend more like 35/25, though.
