Question about bankroll for Limit live games

#1 10th January 2006, 11:13 PM

Hi all,

I had a question about what should your bankroll be for a 4/8 limit HE Live table. Where the DH and I go to play live the minimum buy in is $40.00.
But that just seems way too small for trying to sit in for any length of time. The last two times I sat in on one of these games I played only in position unless it was a strong starting hand and I was out of the game in 2 hands.(got sucked out on, look somewhere for my previous limit post)

Does anyone play limit and how many blinds do you like to start off with?

When I play live action 4/8 in vegas I always start out with a rack of chips ($100.00). When playing 2/4 when my Dad plays or Gizzi the first 2 times I go for 40.00 or 50.00 buy-ins. Everyone has their preferences but I like lots of bullets for when the monster arrives.....................Rock

I would say a minimum of $100 would be advisable for 4/8, would really prefer $2-300 for myself as it does not take long for a pot to get out of hand at those kind of stakes.

You generally want to sit down with 25x the Big Bet in a limit game. So in 4/8, you would want $200.

As for a bankroll if you are consistently playing a particular limit, 200-300 Big Bets is reccomended.

I would never consider buying into a game for the minimum, and there are many many many reasons why.

I tend to find that about 75 to 100 times the blind is about the right amount to have to be comfortable and to apply proper overall strategy.

I'm with Cubs here. When I go to play at Crown Casino I like to take at least 25 times the big bet to the table. You can theoretically lose 12 big bets in one hand. If you take a hit in one hand you still want to be able to come out swinging if you get a good hand on the next.
