Bankroll management is like a lot of theories and concepts: it looks great on paper. Applying it is a discipline unto itself and can be quite elusive. One rule is not to play w/more than 10% of your current bankroll per session. Some might say 5%. Either way that's the idea. As far as moving up that's a good question. I believe it's up to the player and how much they feel comfortable playing with. If you have $500 in your hand and look at a card table and your mouth salivates then you should go invest in the game. If you have that same $500 and look at your late credit card bill and sigh but still feel relieved that you can pay it then you should pay the bill. Your mind needs to be free of all worry when playing this game, imo.
