bankroll management question for home games

[grebe]

Hello all,

This is a couple questions/discussion for those that are currently playing mainly home games with a bankroll:

background: I have been playing serious now for about two years, and I keep a bankroll for the usual games I play that will start around $100 and work up to around $600-$700 before I would spend it. This has been fine, as the games were $20-$40 buyin stuff and who cares if you lost three buyins there? Well now, I am playing in a bigger game that is $100 buyins and there is continuously $3000 on the table at the end of the night. I play once a week and my roll right now is $1100.

-If there is the chance of me losing 300 in a night, and I play once a week, how big should my roll be for this game? BTW, this game plays very soft but much bigger than I am used to. I consider myself one of the better players there, but I am playing too tight and leaving money on the table (still winning though).

-once you hit your "X" number for your roll, what do you do with the rest? Keep building the roll, or enjoy your extra income?

-anything else I missed concerning home game bankrolls? BTW, I have no interest in hitting the "pro" rounders circuit or anything, just want to get better in the game, and make sure I can always play cards for free!
