This isn't a normal "what happens if you play higher limit tournaments than your bankroll can afford" type of question.

It's actually a "how does playing with a certain bankroll (either proper, overbankrolled, or underbankrolled) affect the psychological aspect of your game?" question.

I know alot of people advocate 50-100 buy ins. So from your own experiences, discuss why a proper bankroll is not only good from a money management standpoint but also to possibly help you win more???

-I know some people play at their very best when they have alot to lose. Ive played in the 100 and over tournaments before when I was severely underrolled and felt like I was on the top of my game (because I couldn't afford to lose).

However, when playing tournaments that don't affect my bankroll much (say $10), I'm in my comfort zone and can take risks (stupid or not) and overall seem to be relaxed and worry-free. But at that point, should I move up to where I have optimum focus again?
