Default Re: How many Buyins is your HU SNG bankroll?

100 buy-ins is often recommended for mtt's not heads up sng's .

For many players , 20 buy-ins is more than enough if you beat the game convincingly . However , as you move up in limits , your edge will decrease and the number of buy-ins will have to increase as well .

So for the $100 buy-in player with a 55% win-rate , he may need something like x>=ln0.01/[ln0.45-ln0.55] ; x>=22.94 buy-ins (excluding the rake) . If we include the rake , he may require something like 25-30 buy-ins .

Again , if you're willing to move up or down in limits , then 25 buy-ins may suffice for a player with a 55% win-rate and a risk of ruin of 1 % .
