Would like to hear yours if you have one.
When I first started taking shots above 10/20, I had over 1000BBs in my roll, so I didn't really have a strict stop loss. I just wanted to test the waters and see what happened. Since then, I've had a $30k limit in my mind to be comfortable at 30/60 and I have dropped down after my most recent 50/100 shot. My roll has varied widely between 30k-50k, with my biggest downswing being 18k over about 5 days. It didn't affect me too poorly because my roll ended up just below 30k, which is where I had started one week or so prior.
I would suggest making an imaginary $$ limit on your current bankroll, which would give you 300-500BBs at your current stakes. Then wait until you earn enough for a 50BB shot in addition to that limit. Then when you take the shot, don't think of the possible swings, just treat it as a 'freeroll' and if you are lucky, you'll stay permanently.
