Playing under-rolled can boost growth but also increases risk of ruin.

Do you think it’s worth it to be aggressive, or is slow and steady always the better route?
 
As far as I can say, neither is universally “better,” it depends on your goals and risk tolerance. Conservative bankroll management (more buy-ins) is safer. It protects you from variance, reduces stress, and is better for long-term growth.
Aggressive bankroll management (fewer buy-ins) can grow your roll faster, but it also increases the risk of going broke during downswings.
 
Aggressive bankroll is a heart attack 😂. I tried that style once, thinking I will double it quickly. It nearly wiped everything. Since then, I don't rush it. I do it gradually. Aggression can work for some people, but for me, I do not have that kind of liver.
