$27 bankroll
I currently have $27 in my poker stars account. What would be suitable for a bankroll of this amount. I was thinking of playing 1.10 sit and go turbos. 45man.

Re: $27 bankroll
$2NL if you're good. Any $1.10/$1.20 SNG and $1.75 18 mans would probably be best though.

Re: $27 bankroll
LOL no to 25NL 5NL at most and thats still only 5 buy ins.
Best bet might be to grind it to $100ish and try $10NL... I am not sure but I would imagine the 45man tournaments are somewhat high variance. (complete guess) basically grind the smallest stakes you can find |

Re: $27 bankroll
I would start out playing the $1.20/45 and stay away from the turbos and cash. This gives you 22 buy-ins which should be more than enough to not go busto. Playing cash on Stars with a small bankroll can be tricky since the allowed buy-in is $5 for NL2 and $10 for NL5. A couple of bad moves and your roll is gone. I would switch from the SNG's to NL2 at about $50. Or you could try the $3.40 STT turbos.

Re: $27 bankroll
I agree with the 1.20/45's if you're comfortable playing those games. Really, whatever is your strongest suit, go with it. The 45 sngs do give you the most bang for your buck fwiw.

Re: $27 bankroll
Cash is viable. Buy in for $2 or less at NL2 - sure you don't really have sufficient buyins, but you don't really have the level of recommended buyins for anything.
I dislike anything with a 20% tournament fee, so I don't recommend 1.20 45s. 1.75 18 turbos seem okay, as do 1.10 turbos. Personal preference should guide you, none of these choices are terrible to grind at. I mean, if it suits you, you could chuck in some $1 and lower buyin large MTTs, though be warned of variance. I'd personally go for NL2, I think it's more profitable and teaches you more about poker due to deeper stacked situations. If that's not your thing, I agree with your choice of $1.10 turbo 45s, due to having half the fee of 1.20s and being quicker (though this removes some of the learning aspect). There's no reason you can't mix them, for variety if nothing else. |

[/ QUOTE ] If you are not a winning player, play whatever you think is fun. If you win at some forms of poker but not others, you should stick to what you know. Don't try something new because someone else would be properly bankrolled. A bankroll does not give you skills. If you are an expert at all forms of poker, I recommend playing NL with a $0.02 big blind. A good heuristic to use to compare games is comfort = bankroll * win rate / (standard deviation^2). In order to get the same 3.5 comfort level as you would have playing NL with a $0.02 big blnid with some relatively conservative statistics (winning $0.80/100, with a standard deviation of $2.50/100), you would need to have ROIs of 35% (std dev 1.5 buyins) and 120% (std dev 2.8 buy-ins) in the 9-player and 45-player SNGs, respectively. Maybe those are achievable if you don't multitable too much, but the figures for NL look much more conservative to me than the ones for the tournaments. Actually, I see there are Omaha8 tournaments. Very high ROIs may be possible in those if you know how to play O8 well, much higher than the win rates in NLHE. Most people prefer a comfort level from 2 to 4. You should definitely move down (e.g., to $0.02-$0.04 LHE) before your comfort level drops to 1/2 of your target. |

Re: $27 bankroll
You should buy in for your entire bankroll in a 50nl or preferably a 100 nl game. Great bankroll management starts and ends with putting your entire roll at risk as a small stack in a big game. It will free you up to play great poker. Say yes. Yes.
