Default Bankroll Skills.

Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to this forum although I have played poker for about 3 years. 2 years not very seriously and this year I'm trying to take it a lot more seriously.

I have HoH 1 and 2, Killer Online Poker 2, and Super System. All of which I intend to re-read in the next 2 months. I also am running PokerTracker.

My real question is how most of the successful players here managed their bankrolls. For example, what limits justify the BR you have and what SnGs can you play simult. and also what type of tourneys.

In the past, I've played over my head (I think), playing NL$25 with a short BR, under $200 on FT. I ran it up to $400 then played NL$100 and ran it up to $900. I lost a big chunk of it after some variance and have about $100 on Stars I am playing tight with and grinding at NL$10 6-Max.

So, my real question is with a BR of about $200, what limits can / should I play? What buy-in tourneys and SnGs can I play? Should I just focus on cash games with that small of a BR? I am going to deposit $200 onto FT.

I'm pretty sure that's a sufficient BR for NL$10...20 buyins. NL$25 is probably too big of a jump? I'm thinking no bigger than $5 SnGs and tourneys, but that might be too high as well?

I would like to hear from the guys on here who have been and who are successful starting from this small of a BR and grinding it up. Not taking those big shots like I did.
