you could also take shots, playing two 100nl and two 200nl tables, or something like that

Interesting. Mixing limits seems like it would add to the confusion. Has this ever been an issue?

Mixing limits is easy providing you have a bet pot script so you don't start opening for $7 at 100NL.

Your bankroll scheme is ridicilous. If you can beat 1/2, play that as long as you have 2500+.

This is really bad advice IMO

[/ QUOTE ]

How so? Its great advice if you're a winning player. If you fall below $1800-2000 drop down to 100NL, otherwise play 200NL if you're a winner.

I agree, I don't understand the insane bankroll requirements thrown around here. If I have 3k or 5k... what is the difference. I'm not going broke in one session. If I drop 5 buyins I'll move down. What do you gain by having 40+ buyins for the stakes you are playing???

Sorry this way off topic.

Wait until you hit a 15+ buy-in downswing...then you'll understand.

I would never sustain a 15 buyin downswing at the same stakes if my bankroll can't handle it. Why would a person not move down for a bit? Also, this 15 BI downswing would have to be over a couple of days. That is what stop losses are for.

Maybe I'm a moron, but I still don't see what value 40 BIs adds if your goal is to move up. Of course if you are happy at your current stakes and are just playing to pull profit, then absolutely why not maintain a large roll.

I dont think having 40BI is necessary either. If you are disciplined enough to know when you need to move down say when you get below 10BI, then going busto shouldn't be a problem. Having 40BI will just allow you to stay at the sames stakes longer, which may not be a good thing. The only big draw back to having a small BR is if you are afraid to lose your money. Playing scared is never a good idea.

It is a little conservative. I've read through the other comments, and it seems to make sense that I should play at 1-2 as soon as I'm comfortable playing multiples. Honestly, I'm pretty agg with my br - usually taking shots at the next level at around 10 buyins. I just wanted to have no worries about going broke while I pick this up. I'll start slow at the .5-1 and see where that gets me.

You are right, it is all bs ... that is for a good deal of posters, but some of us have no other income than poker and bills to pay, so we can't just move down and play 25NL as bills will eat us alive, we do not have time to rebuild from 25NL after getting hit by variance.

And you are wrong, so what if he hits a 15BI downswing, he will just rebuild and holla ... even poker GOD aba recommends taking shots at 15BI (move down at 10BI leaving you with 20 for the level below)

Preach it, brother. Totally made a mistake by pulling extra out of my BR to go on a trip one month. Activate doomswitch... now. =(
