45 man sng win or cash

[Talking Poker]

Anyone sitting with 25% of their BR shouldn't even be asking this question, IMO. I mean, they are going to bust their roll in a few days (max) either way, so what does the answer to this matter?

I expect at some point most people on this forum have played in games out of their bankroll but as its well documented if you want to be successful and last at poker you need good BRM.

My answer to the question would be that if your already in the mindset that your willing to risk 25% of your bankroll on 1 game then you have to play for the win. (basically what Zybomb said)

If your already in the mindset that your willing to risk 25% of your bankroll on 1 game then you aren't playing with the right mindset.

Just a couple of comments on all the bankroll talk.

Bankroll requirements are only relevant if when the current bankroll is gone, you are through either forever, or for an extended time period until you can save enough $$$ to create a new bankroll.

In addition, bankroll requirements are only relevant for players with proven winning records, as there is theoretically no bankroll large enough to sustain a losing player.

Finally, bankroll requirements presuppose a given stakes level which remains static. Moshman would say that if I am going to play $50 + 5 SNGs, I would need a bankroll of $5,500 to lower my risk of going broke to less than 5%. However, as was demonstrated by my staking arrangement, using something akin to a modified Kelly for choosing stakes levels and adjusting accordingly based on bankroll size, the given bankroll does not have to be anywhere near 100 buy-ins as long as the player adjusts buy-in amount according to a rational schedule.
