I wish there was a rule that said after you make x amount of money at a certain level you had to move up. Then again I guess you make pretty good money from stars and you went busto so I see why you would be so risk adverse.

Hmm, I think you are taking what I said too literally and maybe missing some places in the thread where I indicated I am clearly on the "shot-taking" side of the BRM spectrum. I believe I mentioned that I have a friend whose professionalism I respect above all, but who would take shots in 10Ks when his BR was <100K. But he still had a low risk of ruin because he was willing to grind MSNL online.
My main points were that there is a lot of smoke-and-mirrors in poker, and, again, to me not going broke is more valuable than pressing every edge. The real problem is that most people do not have a good sense of when to move up and take risks, nor the discipline to drop down in stakes when those risks don't work out. That's what leads to debt, makeup and pretend-ballers who are really super-busto.
We are in agreement that pressing edges where you are confident is pretty standard for a good and reasonably ambitious poker player.
