Starting bankroll

.................... yea right.

I think TP is right here Brian... in order to take swings at that level you prolly need that much.

10,000 = 333 BBs which is plenty for lower levels but if you hit a bad swing at 15/30 with 100 BBs you will quickly lose your BR and/or prolly tilt off the rest from the massive swing in your BR.

oh I know my comment was because there is noooooooooooooooooo way im playing 15/30!!!!

[omahilo]

oh I thought you were questioning the BR for the game...

I agree with you tho I wont be touching the 15/30 game since I dont have the BR... Im sure it is a very profitable game tho.

yea bankroll is one reason but the other would be the fact that I would get crushed. Im sticking to $25 NL, I did good there last couple days with my $50 but I knew that wasnt enough to handle the swings. Really wanted to just see what I liked more the .50/1.00 limit or the $25 NL. I admit though a couple times I layed down hands that probolly would of won just because only had a $50 bankroll...stupid scared money.

Im not sure if I have bankroll for this game im not good in figureing that out when it comes to NL but im in the 25nl games have about $150...Is this enough to handle the swings or am I above my head?

I seem to be handleing the swings but I might just be getting lucky and hitting some hands.

Also dipping into .25/.50 which i just have enough for .

I would say you should set a point that you stop and drop back to the $10 NL or .10/.20 (or .05/.10 if that is all there is). Since you are right on the edge of being at the bankroll for these other games it probably should not be much lower than $100. That way if you lose a little you can drop down and build back up. Then when you get to $150 again take another shot at these games.

Grind away

[BrianSwa]

so im at about $153 right now I shall drop back at $125 since that seems about average.

[omahilo]

You have 6 $25NL buyins so its not bad.

Im not exactly sure what the # of buyins you need to be bankrolled for each game.

[BrianSwa]

I got 2 $25NL tables and a .25/.50 open which may seem dumb but I can keep up with them and this way I dont get bored and start playing stupid cards.
