In a nutshell question RE: Stake Levels

#1 20th August 2008, 11:02 PM

I have read many great things on this forum about BR management but I just was hoping someone would fill in the blanks as to what my bankroll needs to be in order to play at the following levels.

.01/02 =
.02/05 =
.05/10 =
.10/25 =

Thanks

There are no set rules, but the kind of standard is 20 max buyins for the level, but this differs with personal take, I.E. i like to have 30 buyins

So at a minimum really you want

.01/.02 = $40
.02/.05 = $100
.05/.10 = $200
.10/.25 = $500

This is why I am confised. You say that standard is to have 20 max buy-ins for that level. On Pokerstars the max buy-in for .01/02 is $5 so in reallty I should have $100 for .01/02 play, no?

Are the terms getting confused here?

If you buy in for $5, you can buy in for $2 at the .01/.02 tables however. I think switch used minimum buy in not the max buy ins.
