Think all levels that can be played should be respected and enjoyed for what they are fundiver199 as
freerolls have great +EV value no matter how big your roll if thinking about playing thousands of them long term not just a couple of games for example,
Micros still matter too even if have a large roll especially when tired,tilted or not playing your best recommend dropping right down in buy ins to 1 dollar entries even.
10x $20 wins total $200 in the micros looks and spends the same in your bank statement as 1x $200 win in the midstakes for example.
To me I look at freerolls and micros as important stepping stones to the minimum withdrawal amounts and when make the withdrawal button your friend and drop back down in limits that can be very profitable bankroll building off the poker site and a lot harder to go on a downswing,
The rise and grind strategy playing bigger buy ins can also be very profitable but the flip side to this is that it can also end in a massive downswing if variance turns or discipline disappears which happens to a lot of players.
Agree though we need to take shots sometimes and BRM strategy should not be the small roll we have left on a poker site but what you have in reserve available to deposit if necessary but are leaving it on a payment processor as a buy in stop loss instead.
No answer is completely right or wrong though I suppose and each person is different in how they deal with loss anxiety which is a big part of the game.
