NLTRN: rather individual bankroll question

[hra146]

hey there,

Im in a tricky situation right now. I left home a month ago waiting for college to begin, playing poker for a living. Due to a lack of discipline and other stuff I pretty much screwed up my first month and after paying rent and having enough to live off Im left with a bankroll of about 300$ for the next month to start.

Im absolutely sick of cashgame multitabling and I really enjoy HU sngs a lot. Ive played about 70 matches till now showing a roi of about 15. Eventhough I feel I have an edge over most opponents there is definitely still a hole in my game and Id consider myself to be "above average". But not great, or a crushing winning player.

Ive played the 11s at various sites with reasonable success but Im beginning to feel a little downside recently.

I dont know anything specific about bankrollmanagement for HU TRNs so Im kinda lost of where I should start now. I heard somewhere that a 40 buyins should be sufficient, but I have no idea whether that is reasonable or not.

Now, given that I cannot possibly replenish my bankroll, meaning zero is zero I should probably take a different path than many others anyway.

There are obviously the 11$ BI games and the 6$s at stars (as turbos, which i have mostly played so far) and there are even 2$ BI games at FT, no turbos however.

Including this month, I have now 34 days until the next rent is due and I need approx. another 500$ in my bank account.

Whats your suggestion about where to start and when to move up?

Im not sure if I should be playing the 11s right now, or if I should immidiately start at the 6s, going safe.

What would you consider to be the least amount I need to take shots at the 11s, and what amount would you recommend to have to play the 6s safely?

Id be really thankful if you had some rough guidelines so I (we) could work out kind of a plan for me to work on in these 34 days.


id be thankful for any advice, estimations or just personal stories information and anything about variance and bankroll for HUSNgs.
