Another damn bankroll question

Vamoose Killers · 07-05-2009 4:21pm #1

SnG 9 seater bankroll btw.

So let's say you have a bankroll of $2500 and you're multi-tabling 6 to 7 tables. Now I'm currently playing the $30 games which is a $210 investment each time I sit down - which is an 8% investment (or should I look at each one as a $30 investment - which is a 1% investment?).

Now I haven't played too many games at this level (played about 1k at this level over a two year period but I'm going to disregard that for the moment), maybe close to 200, but I'm not sure how to approach the next level.

Is it best to play six $30 and one $50 starting off? And then gradually go five $30/two $50, four $30/three $50 and so on? Or would you advocate playing seven $50 with a roll of $2.5k?

I just get confused when it comes to multi-tabling and bankroll management.

Thanks in advance.

7 tables your a sick man i get dizzy at 4

Stick to one or the other you are rolled for $30 games more so than $50 ones.
Mixing and matching different buy ins leads to an untrue roi and fúcks up your line of play imo.

Haha it's a bit head wrecking at times but I'm gradually getting used to it.

When would you recommend multi-tabling $50s? $3k mark+?

Thanks.

To prevent downswings eating into your roll build up to circa $5k before starting $50 games I'd drop back to $30 games at circa 4k/4.5k

Hmmm, interesting. Think I'm playing above my current level with $2.5k? I've a note saying drop down to $20 if I get below $2k.

Nope dropping down at $2k is fine you have more leeway at 20/30/50 than $3/$6 games.

Cool, thanks for the replies. I just need to make sure my bankroll approach is 100% spot on!

Totally agree with your comments. I play most of my sng's during the day at $10, and in the evening at $20. Reason is not bankroll, I can't find decent $20 games during the day. I'm multi-tabling 4-6 tables. Any advice on best site for that type of action/time scenario?
I'm ready to move to $30 pretty soon too.

but it doesnt have rakeback. Thats the only drawback with stars really.....I think full tilt is a better option. Its got really good traffic, I really like there sng structure and they have rakeback

dougee19 · 08-05-2009 9:02am

ipoker sng's are starting non stop lately and thats an option, one where you can get rakeback and decent deals too

Been on Full T. for 20 mins and $20 table still hasn't started. It's not really what I'm looking for. Evening traffic might be good but I have no problem on any site with evening traffic.
Looking to jump on at around 9am until 1pm and multi table 4/5 games at $20 and then $30 maybe next month. Ipoker is ok for $10 games like this but no traffic on higher limits.
Might have a look at stars.

Just to bump this again as I wouldn't mind a few more opinions on it...

My roll is at 3.1k now which means I've over 100 buy-ins for this level. From what I've read on forums and books (Colin Moshman for example), I don't think they recommend that many buy-ins. If I was to move up to $50 I'd have 60 buy-ins.

Bear in mind that I'm multi-tabling (still would like some input to the investment thing I was on about in the opening post).

Thanks.

Mind your heads

Chucky the tree · 14-05-2009 1:59pm

For SNG's 100 buy-ins is recommended, 60 buy-ins would be too low. I'd wait till I have 80 buy-ins then I'd start mixing in $50 SNG's. I cant really comment on the investment thing well because I dont play many SnG's.

Vamoose Killers · 14-05-2009 2:02pm

Thanks Chunky. Appreciate the feedback, the more the merrier!

I just remember Big Mick saying that 30 or 40 is good for sngs (could be wrong here), hence me plugging this thread
