Bankroll Management Plan

Djcoax · #1 10-10-2007, 08:20 AM

Guys,

I am only starting out and after playing several months with absolutely no clue regarding to bankroll management but capable of consistently being a winning player at the 0.5 - 1$ level , I will now deposit 50$ on UB.
I devised the following bankroll management plan , based on 50 no limit buyins for attaining a certain level and dropping down a level when i'm 30% of the minimum bankroll of the level.
What do you think ?

No Limit Cash Games-----Move down at-----Move up at
0.1$ - 0.25$------------------------------- 25$
0.25$ - 0.5$--------------18.75$------------50$
0.5$ - 1$------------------37.5$-----------100$
1$ - 2$----------------------75$-----------200$
2$ - 4$---------------------150$-----------300$
3$ - 6$---------------------225$---------- 500$
5$ - 10$--------------------375$----------1000$
10$ - 20$-------------------750$----------2000$
20$ - 40$------------------1500$--------- 2500$
25$ - 50$------------------1875$----------3000$
30$ - 60$------------------2250$----------5000$
50$ - 100$-----------------3750$---------10000$
100$ - 200$----------------7500$---------20000$
500$ - 1000$--------------37500$--------100000$

it's great that you have a plan. however, a buyin is (for me anyway) 100 big blinds. So for the .10/.25NL game, I'd want at least $1250 before moving up (50 x $25). I would be taking shots before that for sure, but I would rather know that I can play and not worry about short-stacking.
And leave off everything after 3/6nl. There is a lot more advanced thought after that (deepstacking).

you should probably make sure your a winning player at .10/.25 and the other micro limits before you move up

So If I get this correctly .. You shouldn't move up at 100 Big Blinds , but a buyin = 100 BB and you need a 100 of those.

So I have to keep playing at .25- .50 until I have 1250 ?

One buyin for .25/.50nl is $50. $50 x (your set 50 buyins, some people think 30, either is fine imo) 50 = $2,500 Most people get bored and bump up to .50/1nl before that, but yeah.

basically what I'm saying is that you (with the 50 buyins, again, some like 30) need 5,000bb at any level to move up. that is pretty nitty, but that would definitely cut out a lot of variance. I take shots at around 25 buyins and move up at around 35-40ish buyins. BUT, I also move DOWN at 15 buyins so that I'm not short stacking the lower tables.

I can still go back ... what do you recommend ..
I was on PKR before but you can't run pokertracker with that software and the 3D animations get really annoying after a while (even if you turn it off)
