Bellagio $540 BR (xpost from B&M)

[stupidsucker]

I am aware that the BR reqs for general MTTs is 50-100, but I am curious which way it swings for smaller fields.

I recently read some information that I thought was BAD, but a reputable player told me otherwise, so I thought I would take it here.

So, the Bellagio $540 Daily is averaging about 70 players. I haven't played in a while, but I know the field isn't pure candy, but I have played 20/180's online with better players.

So BR for this? The "bad" info I was speaking of says that a skilled player only needs $10k for this tournament. That sounds absurdly low, but I can imagine that 30 buys might be ok, or maybe it is the opposite and I need 100-150 buys.

I understand that smaller field reqs a smaller BR, but the field is tough enough that it may be nullified.

It is pokertournamentforumla.com that says 8-10k roll.

doesn't sound right to me. If I played these on a daily basis, I'd want at least 25-30K in the BR.
