Tournament Bankroll Management

Nelob · #1 10-12-2007, 10:24 PM

I am a fairly decent poker player and I have won about $2000 player poker tournaments but I cashed out a few months ago and now I am looking for a new start. I started playing freerolls on absolute poker and I have managed to get my bankroll up to $3. I am strictly a torny player and I never play cash games. I am wondering, what amount of my bankroll should I be risking on each MTT or SNG. I have heard that 5% is right but I am not sure. Any comments?

100 buyins is pretty widely used i think

well what you are suggesting is only 20 buyins...you'll be busto quickly with that kind of roll barring some early luck. MTTs have very high variance.

MTTs and SNGs. How many buyins do you think I need.
