Is 30 Buy Ins a bit nitty for BRM?

#1 14th June 2011, 8:05 PM

I've played over 100,000 hands in hold em and my biggest swing was like 4-5 BIs. I know you can get bigger ones but are they not rare? In PLO I have had 10 up and downswings but hold em are much smaller. What is everyones opinions on these?

I played over 1 million hands and get on fine with 1/10 of my bankroll in cash games

I'm thinking about this myself. I have swings that I find big but never got a swing bigger than 3BI IIRC. I'm considering that risking my initial investement (20€) might be acceptable vs having a much lower number of BIs.

Keep in mind I'm on 2NL so maybe this makes sense at much lower levels and I haven't made up my mind yet, just something I'm considering.
