When should you move down limits/stakes?

[Bawse]

How many buy-ins before you should consider moving up or down stakes?

I believe the standard rule for micros is 20-25x the buy-in before moving up, and down stakes for tourneys, and SNG's.
Not sure how it works in cash games as I typically don't play cash, so I haven't read up on bankroll management for cash games.

A lot of people don't what to move down their stakes. They feel it's a disgrace but I don't see it that way. If your bankroll as reduced to certain point why force big stakes because of pride? There is no point doing that.

It amazes me how people can take things and make them so personal to the appoint that their pride lower their self-esteem, emotionally degrading themselves. Do you mean that’s the worst thing that you can do and expect to come back and recover from.

My physical and mental capacity tells me where I should and should not be playing and at what level…. I keep things simple.
