    Default Bankroll sizes

    I play very TAGGY, seeing 20-25% of flops with a 55-65% showdown win rate. What size of bankroll would you suggest for someone like myself? 20xbuy-in, 2000bb, 40xbuy-in, 3000bb? And what about other styles?

    I know that everyones says that the appropriate bankroll all depends on the type of player, well.. let's see an index.

    thanks a lot!

    P.S. I got enough $$ for x-mas to purchase my first laptop this morning. I can't wait to get home tonight and start up my CONSISTANT, DICIPLINED poker career online. Where would one recommend a blogging host?

    I play really TAGG, 19 starting hands. I play 4 or 5 tables at once.

    I find 20 buy-ins is fine but I want 25 for when I move up to 200nl.
    My biggest downswing was 6 buy-ins.

    Playing 4 tables of full ring TAG-style, I only see about 15% of flips, 20% at most. Although this sounds ridicously tight, it's not like I have a friggin' "robot" hand range. I'm quite capable of using game theory to bluff with a marginal hand (like suited connectors) in EP about 10% of the time.

    I would still suggest at LEAST 20 full buy-ins. Even with conservative play, you could find yourself in a streak where all your cbets are getting reraised and/or you never hit a flop.

    I can't multi table and Lagg at the same time. Your edges are too tight, and your reads are damaged by the lack of attention.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
