I am happy to expand on this further :-
 
Lets assume a player has decided their game falls into the 5% bankroll level.
 
The safety net for reassessment I recommend, as we have established, is a 25% loss within the current week.
 
Now if it were only 10 or 15% that would mean potentially reassessing after only a couple of badbeats, or a few positive equity calls which didnt work out.  This IMO is too quick.  I will highlight it below (5% bankroll, NL example) :-
 
[B]Level[/B].............[B]Buy-In[/B]..........[B]Bankroll needed (@5%)[/B]
0.05/0.1..........$10..............$200
0.1/0.25..........$25..............$500
0.25/0.5..........$50..............$1000
0.5/1..............$100.............$2000
1/2................$200..............$4000
 
Lets say in this example a player has a $500 bankroll and is playing 0.1/0.25 NL.   He is having a bad week, things really arent going his way at all, despite some good play.  He manages to lose 25% of his bankroll over several sessions.  Where does this put him? A: $375.  This is still just over half way between the $200 and $500 bankroll levels.  However to be conservative we reassess and probably decide to drop down to 0.05/0.1 to be safe.
 
If he reassessed at say 10%, this would mean a bankroll drop from $500 to $450 and it is difficult to say that a retreat on levels (next one down being $200) is really required at this point.
 
Hope this helps :)   Good luck on your upward spiral :)
