partypoker 0,25/0,5 20bb min tables

My question is how big a bankroll would you suggest to play these (you buy in for 20$ max)

Im talking about nl holdem.

my question is why woudl you want to play 20bb poker, just play a donkament

I want to move up in stakes faster and I find those games easy to beat. I'm considering playing them with a 300$ roll.

learn to beat 10nl fully rolled and how to play multistreet poker. Either that or accept you are much more likely to end up going bust with the strategy you are proposing. Read the bankroll management posts in the beginners digest.

Yeah don't be a shortstacking douchebag, unless you can play like 200nl+. Shortstaking anything less than that is just retarded. Learn to play 100bbs+ and how to play more streets than just preflop.

Shortstacking doesn't move you up any faster as you'll still have to achieve X short buyins to move up. It only helps you to start higher.

Don't want to come off as too arrogant but I know what you're saying, only it isn't really shortstacking if I buy in for max (20$). My point is should I treat the games like 50nl and be playing with around 6BIs or 15BIs at 20nl, hope you guys understood. I accept the high risk but is 15BIs with 40bb stacks, probably meaning higher amount of luck involved, crazy? This game just suits me well b/c I've played lots of Sng's so I'm used to a low blind to stack ratio.

Just a thought but you'd be much better off grinding SNGs in terms of the rake you're going to pay for every dollar you make.
