Ferguson's Rules to BR Management

[OSUGreg1983]

I'm slightly confused by Ferguson's rules on when to exit a game when it gets too expensive.

He says you cannot buy into any game exceeding 5% of your bankroll (I get that obv). But, he says you must leave the game when the money on the table represents more than 10% of your total bankroll. Does this mean that if you win a few pots and gain a larger stack at the table that you must leave when YOUR OWN stack reaches 10% of your total bankroll.......or does he mean you must leave when the entire table's cumulative chip stacks add up to more than 10% of your total bankroll?

I feel like this is probably a stupid question, but its not clicking in my brain. Thanks for the help.

he means your own stack, and it only means you have to leave when your on the egde of 20 buyins.

So this has nothing do with the fact that you would need to leave when you get a larger stack?

so if I buyin for $100 on a $2000 BR I only have to leave the table when I reach 20 buyins? how are you at the maths?

[shawny boy]

you have a BR of $2000 and you buyin to a $100NL table and you run it up to $220. your total BR is now $2120 and you have more than 10% of that on the table so you need to rathole - I mean leave the table.

simplified:
if you can lose 10% of your bankroll in one hand you need to leave.

OMG...OSU is easy to get into..im gonna apply

it means...u should only risk 5% of ur roll in any given tounr yor cash game...so if i have a roll of 1000 dollars and i buy in for 25 bucks to a nl talbe then go on a huge rush and get up to 75 bucks...my roll is now 1050...and 75 dollars is too high a % of that to be gambling up wiith

Thank you very much...Thats exactly what I thought Ferguson meant, but it leaves room for doubt, because its not extremely str8 forward since i obv didnt understand completely.
