Playing within youre bankroll limits
I was thinking about this last night and thought I would throw it up in the air for you guys. Now its been said here about 3 million times about having 300x the BB to play a limit. I disagree with this, let me explain.
I think the 300 bb is only needed if you plan on making one deposit and never depositing again. What if you can deposit again do you really HAVE to play within youre bankroll limits. Lets say some guy deposits $400 and dosent want to play .50/1.00, I have no problem with that guy taking $100 and throwing it in 2/4 which is his favorite limit. As long as this guy knows that he could lose the $100 very easy, what is soooo wrong with this? I dont think putting a small portion of thier bankroll in a game they arnt bankrolled for is the worst thing to do in the world. Now I dont suggest putting their whole bankroll in a game but a small portion of it, I dont see anything wrong with this. Does anyone agree with this or really disagree? I think it really just comes down to what you want from poker? I play from paycheck to paycheck, I dont have any problem throwing $100 of a $300- $400 bankroll in a 2/4 game. I dont cry about getting outdrawn or bad beats when I play those games because I know im playing about where im not bankrolled for and variance happens. Discuss.... |

why
why I think its a decent post, you think everyone should have to play within their bankroll no matter what? You dont think the casual player should be allowed to take 1/4 of their bankroll into a game? I see no problem in this at all, please explain BB. |

Brian.... not to point out the obvious to you.... but in your hypothetical situation of someone putting $400 online and having another $400 ready to go if he loses it, his bankroll isn't $400. It's $800 (or whatever the number is he's willing to call "poker money").

nope
not saying he has $400 in reserve to play with. Ok lets put it this way a guy has a decent job and gets paid and sees hey I got a extra $400 I can put online. Ok so he does that now he has no extra money after this to play with but knows that he can deposit in 2 weeks if he has to. So he has $400 and only $400 to play with for 2 weeks, is it a sin to put $100 of that in 2/4? |

Yes, and he will go straight to hell for it.
Of course not. He can play 100/200 if he wants (assuming he can find a site that will let him sit with $400). It's just that the higher the limit he plays, the more likely he's going to bust. Bankroll guidelines are for people that don't want to bust out. You pick a number and they give you a guideline of where you should be able to survive the short term fluctuations of poker. If you don't care about busting out, or reloading your bankroll, then bankroll guidelines don't apply to you. Obviously. Play anywhere you like. |

I don't see how it matters for that player. If they are having to redeposit every time they get paid, they aren't a very good player, or are being outplayed at the limit they are playing.
Even if they win, it really isn;'t a bankroll issue. They are just putting money into poker as entertainment and if they are happy if they blow through it in an hour, then that is fine. If you are trying to build it up (either for money, or just for the challenge) then they should play within the bankroll to avoid going bust and "losing") Last edited by BlibbityBlabbity; 09-15-05 at 12:19 PM. |

This question struck me as the same kind of devil's advocate thread you used to start all the time.
This has been covered a million times but, ..... I don't think you need to have 300BB in a site (or even online) to play a certain limit. You just need to have an implied bankroll of at least 300BB to play a limit comfortably. Ex. 5/10 Limit = $3000 bankroll min, right? If you want to put in $300 and play it knowing you might bust out in an hour and need to reload, then you are fine (assuming you have another $2700 "available" as part of an implied bankroll). |

Brian..
Umm.. And.. how much have you won? That is not a good idea. Limit is all about grinding out wins in your bankroll range. Learning how to play before you jump limits.

It's irresponsible if the player is not a winning 2/4 player. Bankroll requirements do not apply to losing players (those who constantly need to reload, such as the above hypothetical player). Losing players should just quit.
I'm sure you can beat 0.5/1. If you want 2/4 action, multi-table a few 0.5/1 tables. Stop trying to find justifications for degenerative, negative-expectation gambling. |

Lol
dont know why you all are thinking this thread is about my play, I only play sit & go's and tornies. If you catch me in a ring game it most likley will be .05/.10 NL at most. I wanted to throw the situation out there to see what you all thought no reason to get personal.
