Default Re: How many Buyins is your HU SNG bankroll?

i usually carry around 1/2 a buyin and the other 1/2 i get from begging the $ from guys in the chat box at the 550s.

Touchy subject I guess lol. The only reason I really ask is that it seems that the majority of players that tout this method are playing like the 20s or 50's, indicating they have pretty tiny bankrolls, which just doesn't inspire confidence. Seems like a solid winning player could build up a 5kish bankroll pretty easy, and never have to play below 100s again.

kids cash out to pay expenses. I mean I play 115s and 220s and I keep $10-15K online at all times. I could reload more, but I wouldnt be happy doing it

Ok the talk in this thread is definitely making me change some things....

At the start of the new year im going to play 100s with a 50 buyin Roll instead of 100.

I understand what you mean about us losing money, i just have this thing where when i beat a level, im proud of it, and i never ever wanna go back down again. When it takes an hour to get in a 50 game i wait, i don't play a 30.
and after 700 50s, i don't plan on going back to that either.

Maybe that's why i am nitty and like the 100 buyin rule.

That doesn't make any sense, I can understand not wanting to move down but there's no reason not to play a 30 if you're waiting around anyway, that's just wasted time.

v in this case is 1/1.05 or about 0.95

[/ QUOTE ]

Shouldn´t it be 0,95/1,05 because you are not getting the fee back even if you win?

well i've done the 100 buyin rule to get to where im at with the 50s...

ive played 700+ 10s, 700+ 20s, and 700+ 30s. I would just rather wait than play a game at a level i just beat. Once i'm past a level i just want to be done with it and never come back.

Duh?

As far as I can tell, everybody who's talking about playing 10 BIs has also said that we slow that down when reaching $50s or $100s...

Personally, I've had to rebuild from near-scratch a number of times, but none of those times have had anything to do with being overly aggressive with my bankroll.

At least, not with regards to HUSNGs. I've been a donk with my roll in many other ways that have nothing to do with playing 10BIs at HUSNGs. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
