Sounds about right, I keep $1000 and am a .10-.25 regular.
You can get away with less if you are a solid player, if not I suggest starting lower and working up. |

Most guidelines I've seen are in the range of 20-30 maximum buyins, which probably works out to $1000-$1500 depending where you play. Keep in mind, that's a general guideline, and also a minimum. There's nothing wrong with having more, especially if you play a loose style that's likely to produce bigger swings in your bankroll.

i like 1500 [/ QUOTE ] I like the number 22700. However, this has nothing to do with bankroll management, and neither do most of the fixed numbers of buy-ins people mention in discussions like this. As Stigen points out, the bankroll you need depends on your win rate. The risk of ruin figures assume you would never change levels or withdraw money, but they are a good guideline. As SmokeyRidesAgain points out, NL $50 is relatively soft. For some people, it is easy to win at a substantial rate, much higher than what is sustainable in tougher games. This decreases the size of downswings, and decreases the bankroll you need to achieve a low risk of ruin. Don't apply the number of buy-ins you hear someone talk about for NL $1000. If NL $50 is very hard for you, though, you need a larger bankroll to be safe. If you aren't beating the game (which takes play significantly above average), then you need a budget not a bankroll, as you will burn through any amount eventually. |
