If you're at a shorthanded table of 5 people with opponents who:

1) are almost guaranteed to be worse than you
2) buy-in for the minimum up to 60bbs

Would you buy-in for 60 blinds too or 100, and is it just personal preference there?

How many buy-ins would you keep as a bankroll?
is 3 buy-ins enough? 6? 12?
you cant handle the truth!

[quote] Well if they all have 60bbs then it doesnt matter since youll only be playing with 60bbs against them. If one of them doubles up and sucks I want to be able to cover them though so im still buyin in full.

lol noo not unless you can drop down. 12 is just about getting there if they suck alot more than you. id still want AT LEAST 15 and probably 20 though. But if I was playing say 100NL and I have 12 buyins for 200NL and I saw a table like that then I would take a shot but I would move down if I got stacked.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

keep 20 buyins atleast for every level and always buy in for 100bbs. Ofcourse there are exceptions to everything, but follow this and you will be ok.

Live I'd say 15 is fine but if your willing to gamble and go and lose some significant amount of money than do the whatever the hell you want.

If they're really bad buy in for as deep as you possibly can!
