Re: I suck at online poker...

Just so you know for sure, 300BBs means 300 big bets for Limit. 300bb (big blinds) or even 300BBs is nowhere near a large enough bankroll for NL. [/ QUOTE ] OK I am confused, if I want to play $10 NL, $300 is not enough? Or say $100 NL, $3,000 is not adequate? Please let me know, thanks. |

Re: I suck at online poker...
$3000 at 100NL is 3000 BB
or do you mean 50/100 NL 100NL is .50/1 |

Re: I suck at online poker...
OK I guess what I am saying is you need 30 buy-ins for NL. So if you play 100 NL you would need $3,000, correct? How much would you need for the 50/100 NL game, $30,000???

Re: I suck at online poker...
For limit, think of your bankroll in terms of big bets. Standard *minimum* recommended bankroll is 300 big bets. Example: $10/$20 limit would require a minimum $6,000 bankroll.
For no-limit, think of your bankroll in terms of buy-ins, where one buy-in equals 100 big blinds (which is usually the maximum online poker sites let you buy in for). Recommended *minimum* bankroll for NL is 20 buy-ins. So in a $10/$20 NL game (also called $2000 NL), one buy-in is $2000. The recommended minimum bankroll for $10/$20 would be $40,000. EDIT: Also I should add that as your go up in limits, your relative bankroll size should become larger to compensate for tougher games with higher variance. For example, $10/$20 NL is considered high stakes and most people who play there would agree that a 20 buy-in bankroll is far to small... something like 50 buy-ins would make them feel more comfortable. Of course, bankroll management in general can depend a lot on your ability to move down after a downswing. If you have difficulty playing lower limits seriously, then you need to have a larger bankroll at the limits you play at to compensate so you won't have to move down after a downswing. |

Re: I suck at online poker...
From my perspective it sounds like your playing at stakes that are too high for your skill level. While it may not be glamorous to move down it will save you money, help you gain more experience and give you a chance to apply what you are learning.
