I've talked to a number of people and have even read some articles about BR management. 95% of most people say 500BB regardless of game -- NL or Limit...so for .50 tables, you need 250... | |

I'm playing 25NL at the moment with a $1600 bankroll, I always play 4 tables at the same time, so is 40xBuy-in a good amount to move to the next level or is that a little to conservative? Im not one of those poeple who goes all in with AK after hitting king on flop, but if I feel I have any kind of edge I will push. | |

From What I understand they are saying, You would need at least $600 to play 25NL. | |

Crap I wish I'd read this earlier. I built my meager BR up to $800 on a massive good run on the 100NL table (.50/1). Then I lost $600 of that in 4 days. | |

Ok so you keep a 30 buy in roll to play at certain stakes. Then you "go on a bad run" and lose 7, you are no longer bankrolled for that level so you move down and try to rebuild? Also 7-10 buyins downswings are NOT downswings. If you lose that many buyins at a certain level (especially in 2-3 days like some said) you really need to rethink your game, you probably lack the skill to play at that level. | |

Quick question: From what i understood, it's okay to 2-table 0.5/1$ limit with 300BB, yes? |

OK, but I think if you're going to have to choose between being under-rolled for SNGs or for limit or for no-limit go for the limit. Being stuck with 150BB is better than having 9 buy-ins for the SNGs by far. In poker room I only have 50 bucks, that's why that's a choice for me due to the high low stakes. |

I have been playing SnGs on VCPoker for quite a while now - started at the $0.50+$0.05 tables and have worked my way up to the $5+$0.50 tables. I move up when i feel comfortable doing so, but as a general rule i am looking at moving up when i hit 20 buyins for the next level (which would be $120 for the $5 games, but i was on a good run at the $3 games so stayed there a short while longer and got to $150 first). I have always said if i experience a downswing of more than 10 buyins then i would move back down to the previous level. So far this has not happened, though i was close to it at one point, and probably would have moved down had i not won $15 in a freeroll tournament while on that downswing. |

I have to add that turbo SNGs and pokerroom SNGs that are not turbos (that go as fast as turbos at the other sites ) require AT LEAST 30 buy-ins because EVERY SINGLE DAY YOU PLAY you'll be up or down 5 buy-ins |

Im sorry but playing with 3 buy-ins at 600 NL is just a really really bad idea. You will play scared, theres no easy way around it, and you have a huge risk of going flat broke. The players there are tough so dont think itll be cake-walk doubling up. Know you can beat the 600 NL game before you go and try this with even 6 buy-ins. Of course beating the 200 NL game doesnt count; I can beat the 200 NL game on Party but have difficutly to this day beating the 600 NL, its just that much harder. Plus 600 NL and higher isnt really about grinding anymore, its about bluffing and making moves. | |

If I play Limit games and I have $300, I can play .50/$1 according to the accepted standard of 300 big bets. When should you try $1/$2? Wait until you have $600? Try it as long as you have over $300? What if I have $400 Could I or rather should I try $1/$2 and if my roll dropped back to $300 then you drop back down. A major issue I have always had is when should you try the next level? | |

Just a noob question about micro @ Pokerstars. I just want to get my feet wet and play some $0.01/0.02 tables instead of doing well at play money and seemingly wasting my time. The max-buy in is 5$ so 50$ would be 10 max buy-ins. Enough? I know it's less than the 15-buy-in policy. | |

You could put in $50 and only buy in for $2. Stars $5NL has 0.01/0.02 blinds so its like a very deep stacked version of $2NL. | |

so when talking about bankroll sizes - I see everyone on here multitables (as do I, but 2-3 is all i can keep up on at 6 max NL right now) - So when your talking about 15-30 buy ins (most seem to agree that 20 is a good number here on FTR), is that for EACH table your playing? That seems like a LOT of money to have, even at $25NL if your 4 tabling...Should we just stick to the 5-10% rule for multitabling? | |

20 x 100BB buy in. If you are only rolled for $5NL your roll is $100+, that would put 10% of your roll on one table if you buy in with 200BB's, and that's never good. If your going to buy in higher, you still need 20x and if your short stacking I would go with 40x. If your rolled to buy in 20x at 200BB's I would just move up. There is way more value in the next stake at 100BB's compared to the smaller blinds. | |

So you would have a 4 year old start out with no training wheels, then let the bike decide how many he needs? Or maybe start driving Transport trucks and just downsize when you crash, until you end up with a pair of Nikes? IT isn't jsut about winning money, it's about foundation, learning why, and ingraining habits. When your getting stomped at $25NL because you have no clue, $500 is nothing, and may not make it to 10K hands. Watching chips slide across the table does nothing for the learning curve. | |

While we already bumped this one, I would like to add that "15+ buy ins" for SNGs is not enough by far imo. Cant speak for regular speed SNGs though, as I dont play them. But I have a avg. ROI of 10% and even when grinding the $6.50s I had 20 BI downswings and 500 game break even stretches. So for turbos I want at least 30 BIs (for lower BIs. moved up to the $16s at 50 BIs). Dunno if you can really get away with half of that at regular speeds. |

I generally play at levels that I have 30 to 50 buy-ins at I play bankroll management big time I like to be able to take a hit and keep on ticking just like I did in football built my body to a hilt so when that 250 pound linebacker comes to hit you as a running back you want to be in thde best shape you can be to take the hits and keep carrying the ball to move your team toward victory. |
