what is your bankroll and what stakes do you play

Ok i am nosey so btw if this thread exists then oops i didnt search


What is your br and what stakes do u play thought it would be interesting to see where people at in poker terms


Personally i have a br of around 500 and play anything up to 50nl in cash, i am not a cash player so when i do play br management doesnt come into it

in mtts i play upto 20 rebuys and no higher again no br management in sngs i play up to 20 buyin dont use br management coz i dont need to if i bust to redeposit is only money i have withdrawn before

I have my bankroll spread through 3 sites (I dropped Titan recently) and I have about $500 @ Pokerstars, $700 @ Party and $800 @ Ladbrokes.

Right or wrong, I look at them as individual bank rolls. So, for example, if someone said play with 10% of your bankroll when playing cash it would not be $200 (my bankroll is about $2,000) it would be $50 on Pokerstars, $70 on Party and $80 on Laddies.

I play $10 or less MTT, but I sometimes think that I should play $20-30 MTT.

SNG`s, after taking a big hit by playing at too high a level, I play about $10.

I have given up on ring games - can`t get away with them

So there u go !!!

My bankroll is now at $0 (well $0.05 on poker.com)
And i play freerolls

all on stars, floating around 1200+ after the super downswing.

Over 5K

MTT up to $80, sometimes Ill play a $150-$200 buyin, rarely though, usually MTT at $26 on Full Tilt.

Ring, 4x$50NL ring tables, grinding my way up to $100NL, the reason im not playing any bigger is that my total ring winnings dont amount to around $1,200 according to PT, and im not moving up until ive beaten every level. I started building this at the 1c/2c tables, and continued to move up as my roll increased.

~1K right now over Stars, FullTilt and Mansion (yuck).

I play pretty small stakes; $16 STTs, up to $20 MTTs, though mostly $10 and under, and on the rare occasion I play rings, I'm at 25NL.

2k on Party (I cash out when I get more than that) and a few hundred scattered here and there.

$33 and $55 MTTs and SnGs mainly.

Right now on FT it's at $1700, on pokerstars $200. I generally play cash games, usually $50 max, have had a $100 max heads-up kick lately too. MTT's I play $5-$24 buy-ins. I don't play donk n go's because I suck.

~2k across 3 main sites (Titan, Bodog, Absolute) with another few hundred scattered around several more. All other people`s money, since I withdrew my initial deposit last year and don`t plan ever to put any of my own cash in again.

MTTs and SNGs up to $10 buyin. Ring games, usually $25 NL.

I agree with Ron that, for BR management purposes, one should look at each site as a separate BR.

dont have a bankroll, I just play what I want. I usually like 1/2 NL or 2/4 nl online and 1/2 nl and 2/5nl live.

tournaments online I like to multi table low limit buy-ins, like 4-6 of them and live I enjoy $100 taj AM tourney and the Borgata $100 + 1 add on.

I feel like I'm at a crossroad with my bankroll. I have $850 on PS + T$215, which I won last Sunday. In the last couple weeks I like the way I've been playing MTT's, and I'm kind of thinking to try some $20+ ones. $10 + $1 is the max that I've played, just a couple times. Made the money once, not a big score though (13th place). Before winning the T$215, I had planned that if I were able to win that I would've tried some $20+ tourneys. Many times I've read from posters here that those levels aren't particularly hard, there are still many below average players. I'm not sure if I should try them or not. I'm thinking maybe its better to start with a few more $11, 180 seat ones and then take it from there. Even if I manage to just hang around there and not drop back to the $4 one, it would be great.

As far as cash games on pokerstars I don't play them often, but when I do it's usually $25 max, occasionally $50 max. I think I'm well enough rolled for both of them (27 buyins at the $50 max right now), but as I said I don't play them often, I like tourneys better.

This past week I've played only at FTP. I didn't have an account there but managed to come in 64th (940 was the field) on their $2500 FR for the PPA a few weeks ago. That gave me $7.50. I used that to play their $1.25 tourneys 90 seats, managed to win one of those made $22.50. After that I starting playing the $5.50, 45 seat tourney and got a second place there ($56). BR right now on FTP is $53, don't know what will happen though because I'm willingly playing tourneys that are behond my BR, mostly because I hate those $1 ones, too much of a donkfest. The $5 is a little better. We'll see what happens, there is big chance I'll go broke though. I'll be playing there next week, then back to pokerstars and try some bigger buyins.

Haven't tried any cash games at FTP, I have no idea how tough they are.

I currently only have 130 dollars on Bodog although I have withdrawn over 500. I wish I didnt have to, but I really wanted to buy a couple of things and needed to withdraw it. Right now I mostly play 4.40 and 5.50 SnGs, but I think I am going to start playing 8.80 beginner SnG tables, only one table at a time. I have a very good success rate at these over about 50 tournaments. Since it pays out 5, I dont think I really have to worry about going broke. I currently have around 15 buy ins at the level so I am confident. I plan on grinding those out til I have around 300 (might take awhile, but oh well) Then I am planning on playing 25max tables. I do not plan on making a withdrawl for quite some time and am just going to try to build until I have atleast 800-1000 dollars. Hopefully I can accomplish this in about 6 months.

About 850 total righ now- half on Stars, About 200 at FT, around 115 each at UB and Bodog. I play entirely differently at each sight; PS is almost exclusively MTTs from 2 up to occasionally 20 bucks, mostly 2,3,5 dollar tourneys and this is where I draw my expense money from. A recent upswing there, plus cashing in a bonus also opened my Bodog account. FT- I play .05/.10 and .10/.25 Omaha8 cash tables, and 45-90 player SnGs, mostly at $5. UB- mostly I have money there so I can play WAPT and the occasional CC events held on the site; I occasionally play $5 and $10 SnGs, bottom feeder Horse cash tables, and cheap Blackjack. I put 75 at Bodog recently, grew it into 115 playing cheap SnGs and a couple sessions of $25 max Omaha8, promptly lost interest in what I consider a pretty clunky site, so there it sits. I'll prolly start playing CC Bodog Saturday after the Spring PS events are over.

Too much info? You asked.

Don't worry, I fixed this for you Joose

TB, when you say $50 NL ring do u mean your starting cash is $50 or do u mean the stakes you play are $25/50 ???

I can answer that, if you like.

This common shorthand for describing NL ring games classifies them by buyin, on the assumption that a buyin is 100 Big Blinds.

Therefore, a $25 NL game has a Big Blind of 25c, a $50 NL game is one where the Big Blind is 50c, and so on.

Of course, this does not generally mean that you must buy in for that amount. Most sites allow you to bring a smaller stack to the table (though there is usually a minimum), and some allow a larger buyin.

what happened to the 11k from the 2nd place finish?

Just cracked the $400 barrier, almost exclusively playing $1 MTT's. I don't like the cash games, it's just entertainment for me and I get a better value for my entertainment dollars playing mtt's.

Not bad though, started with $100. Takes some serious time to climb up playing small stakes hehe.

Right now about 350$ on PS and 600$ on FT. Usually if I get any higher my wife makes me pull out a couple hundred.

Made it all mainly grinding it out on 5$ and 10$ sngs, and the occasional MTT. The only time I play ring is with you fine folks at CC, and that's only to let someone know what it feels like to stack someone (me ).

Currently, $200 on Prima, $320 on Fulltilt and $280 on Neteller. That's a total of $800. Play mostly $10NL/PL, $20NL/PL. Making the switch to $25NL and $20NL exclusively.

HEEE HEEE

Update on this. I won $1600 the other night and partly inspired by this thread have moved $1000 to Stars to give me more of a selection of tournies. Unfortunately the field on Party are still getting smaller to the point where final tables aren't making as much as they used to. I know in theory ROI should stay roughly the same, but the bigger the payday for a win the better I think.

Also looking forward to the new challenge as I've only ever dabbled with sites other than Party.

Woo-hoo - been waiting for you to stop playing there so much cause we can't rail you there.

Your bankroll in pokerstars will drop once you start playing more cash games with me - but you can counter that by playing some tournaments and winning some money there lol.

Hee hee, I need the big wins to supplement playing hyper-aggressives like yourself. What with me being weak-sauce and all.

Should be seeting an lot more of me on Stars in the future

My current bankroll is about $700, I play almost exclusively SNGs, for $30 and $50 buy-ins.
I initally started out two months ago with a deposit of $50 and played $2.50 SNGs. Then I gradually increased the buy-ins.

I haven't had much success in cash games, I'm not sure what it is. People play very strange poker all the way up to NL50 (haven't tried anything higher).

I`m crap at cash game as well. I think the difference is that in a MTT/ SNG you know u r out if u make the wrong move, unlike a cash game u can go all in and reload. Also I find that I am more patient playing SNG/ MTT.

I still don`t know why this is

I find if u play Limit cash u can simply play the odds - much more scientific. It does not, however, mean u will avoid bad beats

I have no online bankroll, because I suck at online poker. I usually just buy in for $10 every once in a while for entertainment.

If I actually tried the whole bankroll management deal, I'd probably have about $800 for live poker, but instead I invested it all into a nice 50" DLP tv along with some work money, and I must say, I prefer that to a $800 bankroll anyday, haha.

But when I get my graduation money, I will be setting some aside for a good start on a bankroll. My favorite game to play live is $1/$2 NL hold em live, online I pretty much just do .01/.02, considering I sucked at the 12 SNG's I tried.

I kick a lot of ass in the FT freerolls until the top 100 and then I fizzle out, which is unfortunate, because I can't afford the $50 buy in.
