Default Bankroll Debate

Feedback from math guys and lesser-math guys deeply appreciated...

For an above average player, if he/she wanted to do:

$10+1, $20+2, & $30+3 Deep Stack MTTs
$20+2 Heads-Up NLHE Tourneys (between 128 - 256 players)
$20+2 Heads-Up NLHE S&G Tourneys (either 2, 4, or 8 players)

What kind of roll would he/she need if the S&G accounted for 50% of his/her play?

Since S&G's have only a few opponents, wouldn't that have less variance and more "sure-thing" money most of the time?

What roll MINIMUM would you advise? MINIMUM

there are Heads up MTTs? i think the rule for SNGs is a 100 buyins. so for 20+2s you should have minBR of like 2K.

Actually, this is a good question, since I divide my time between $20-30 SNGs and $20-30 tournaments.

And, SSNYC, you really should be taking more shots at $50s and learning from them with an 8K roll.

Barry,

nit thing coming into play! I wish Stars had more 20-30 MTTs but with kids and real life these 1 1/2 180 man turbos work well...unfortunately the pushbot thing is klling my real poker game and I've been too aggressive (maybe not the worst thing) in regular tournies when I do them..

Maybe a still drink and some planning is due
