What level SitnGo to start at?

[foal]

I'm relatively new to poker (a couple months of playing for real money), I'm 8.9 PTBB / 100 over 16k hands at NL 5 and my bankroll is $156. I've got my HoH 2 and I'm looking to take a crack at SitnGos next. Should I start with 1+.10 or 5+.50? I'm not sure how bankroll management applies to SitnGos and I'm not sure what the general skill level is at either of these games (I play on PokerStars).

If I were you I'd just keep moving on up the levels in the cash games.

I'd start at the $1 ones until you're sure you can beat them.

How many tables will you be playing at once?

"If I were you I'd just keep moving on up the levels in the cash games."

Some friends of mine are going to be doing some one table tournaments this summer. I also might play a casino tournament with them in a couple weeks just for fun. So I want to get a feel for tournament play. Also I want to add some variety to keep things interesting.

"I'd start at the $1 ones until you're sure you can beat them. "

Thanks for your input.

"How many tables will you be playing at once?"

I'm not sure. I can 6 table NL 5 6-max pretty comfortably, but I had to play about 10k hands before I was able to do that. Maybe 3-4.

Be careful multi-tabling STT's. It's easy when the tables are full, but harder when you are down to 3 or 4 in 2 different games. Do what you like best. Or play cash games and if you win say $30 more than you expected, treat yourself to a $10 tourniment and take a shot.

Hey man thank you for your answeres!

I know the fact that a downswing can bust your bankroll. My Bankroll management is like this you need 20 Buy ins for the current level you are actual playing. (e.g. $6.50 Buy in = $130 if you have only 20 Buy ins for the level below e.g. $3.40 = 68 you go down on that level).

You really have to move down, when you are only 20 buy ins deep, but i think when you mastered the lower level you can easily rebuild your bankroll.

again, thanks. I've been playing much tighter and it's working out better.
1+.20 is definitely the way to go for me, right now until I get more familiar with the game.

I think you would be fine to play $5 SNGs with your roll, I don't think you need 50 buy in's as you should be able to pull a few wins. If not then drop down to the 1.25's... but I would find that to be really painful to play continually if I had $100+

i'd recommend you either switch sites or move up a little bit to avoid paying 20% rake. Ultimate Bet has 1+.10 SnGs. You want to pay 10% or less in rake of your entry fee
