Juicy Games

[hotmark777]

This is a bankroll question and i would guess that people like jman and grimstarr are the most apt to answer this.

If one sees a juicy game with one or two clear weak spots, how much of their bankroll have they/should they risk?

Haha.

Grim and I shouldn't give advice because we're bad at this.

But since you asked, nothing wrong with taking a shot for 5% of your roll. 10% if you swear to yourself that you quit right after. I've taken bigger shots, but I don't think they were good ideas.

im technically taking a shot at 100/200 right now. its not even really a juicy spot, im just sick in the head. seriously though, asking grim on BR management?!

Good question OP. Conventional wisdom dictates that sometimes you place your whole bankroll on one tough table. Otherwise your whole life becomes a [censored] grind.

what is a good (and by good i mean one with relatively low risk of ruin) roll to have for:

1) 25-50 if you play 4-6 tables online.
2) 25-50 live deepstack (1 table, obv.) 300bbs deep+
2) 50-100 if you play 2 tables online?
2) 100-200 if you play 2 tables online?

thanks,
