whats a good bank roll for stud .. is the 300 bb rule good or do you need more??

the general consensus is more, especially in high ante games. Although most people here probably keep more than 300 for hold'em as well.

I have some thoughts on bankroll in the FAQ. You might want to keep in mind that I have gotten broke several times.

Yes, I really have gotten broke several times. I'm terrible with money outside of the card-room, and being out of action bothers me less and less.

Andy, anyone who's played w/ you knows that you're not joking.

I need an infinite bankroll.

It depends on the structure. I play in very loose, high-ante/BI games, so there's a lot more variance, and I recommend anyone sitting there doesn't sit without at least 400BB, as well as the ability to leave/drop down if things go bad. In those type of games, I go through a 200-300BB downswing at least once a month(granted I play 8-10hrs a day and multitable).

For "normal" sites....I'd say 300BB is sufficient, but also remember if it gets too low to drop down a level.

I like to keep my bankroll @500x Big bet for my current limit.
I've gone on 300 bb downswings before and it hurts, I dont want to take money away from my work income/savings to reload my BR.

Initial deposit $55, currently bankrolled for 2/4.
