Imaginary Bubble On Bankroll

I have played the last 15 days floating around the $1,000 and not really making a breakthrough. I have gone all the way up to $1,600 and after a few bad sessions back down to $1,100. The weird thing is everytime I near the $1,000 mark I tighten up a lot and I am able to slowly build my roll again.

Is this normal? I mean it seems I am just playing $500 of my roll when I really have $1,500. I also tried my hand again at the $1/$2s with some pretty good results but I have to admit the swings are terrible since all-in seems to be the word for the day at this level.

Roll currently at $1,210 with quite a bit of 500 point days so I am planning to break the $300 mark on rakeback.
