How much $$ do you need in your bankroll to play .25/.50?

[Camp11]

A friend and I were discussing this and I was just wondering what you guys would suggest for .25/.50NL tables

1500 $

Does anyone else agree this is a good amount?

Sounds about right, I keep $1000 and am a .10-.25 regular.

You can get away with less if you are a solid player, if not I suggest starting lower and working up.

Most guidelines I've seen are in the range of 20-30 maximum buyins, which probably works out to $1000-$1500 depending where you play. Keep in mind, that's a general guideline, and also a minimum. There's nothing wrong with having more, especially if you play a loose style that's likely to produce bigger swings in your bankroll.

1000-1600, if you hit 1600 you can take a shot at nl 100, if you lose the move back down and start grind again.

I'd start playing 50nl at 2k. but then again im so tight with my bankroll

[kabouter]

start taking shots at $600, and start going robusto!

if you are decent, 20BI's is fine to start with, then drop down if you go below 15 or so
