Default Money Management and Bankroll in NL Hold\'em

Hi guys,

I'm a Small Stacks Limit Hold'm player that is now making his jump to No-Limit.

In Limit Hold'em is known that your bankroll should be 250-350 times the amount of a Big Bet in the limit you're playing. But how is it for No-limit? Is it the same way?

Also, in Limit Hold'em I use to bring to the table 40-50 times the BB. How is it with NL? For now I always go to the table with the maximum allowed, is it correct or there's a better amount to start?

Thank you.

Bankroll for NL should be 20 maximum buy-ins, and always buy in for the maximum amount.

Imagine if this was in the FAQ stickied and clearly labeled at the top of the front page of this forum. Wouldn't that be great. READ THE [censored] FAQ

I disagree with this, but the argument it creates is so tedious. Just be aware that you are at no disadvantage when buying in short, despite what people say.

A simple example should clear this up. Assume you're player 1 and you have the nuts. Doesn't matter if it's the first hand or the hundredth hand.

Example 1
Player 1 is all in with $100
Player 2 is all in with $100
Player 1 wins $200

Example 2
Player 1 is all in with $30
Player 2 is all in with $100
Player 1 wins $60

See the difference?? Always buy in for the full amount...period.

Wow, this is pretty ignorant. So, what about when you lose your full stack when you make the second best hand?

There are many advantages and disadvantages to playing short or full, the key is knowing them, and playing accordingly.

Having a shorter stack does not, in itself, put you at a disadvantage. The fact that you hit the nuts when buying in short means you can double up, just as you can get stacked with the second best hand. It is ignorant to think that just because you have less chips at the table, that the bigger stacks have an advantage over you. All that is different is the style required to play each well.
