Tournament BR management

How do you use proper br management to decide what is a proper buy in?

Some kind of percentage of your total br?

1%. That's what I have sticky to lately. Plus if I play 1% of my BR the donkey calls I get don't hurt so bad. If I'm in a $50 BI with $100 BR and my aces get called by 7 4o and loose I go insane. But same hand in a $1 Buy in, sux but don't hurt so bad.

Moving to a higher level

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT BANKROLL MANAGEMENT.

Pretty good write up sindri. Thanks.

Looks like I'm right in the range of the SNG "unprotected", so maybe playing a little over my head.

I have been messing around in the $20 to $30 buy in SNG's. Maybe not enough hands to really get a feel, but I'm not seeing a huge difference in skill level between the two.

I'll admit my own skill level may make it hard for me to be an accurate judge, though.

For example, I scoped two guys at my table in $30 buy in the other day, and they each had a little fish bowl icon next to there names with a fish jumping in and out! (each were in the red over $2k).

I had to laugh at the fish bowl.


I had a little poker poetry in that game too.

I was the big chip leader at the time, and I opened with 4's. Hit a set on the flop, and a pretty good size stack shoved on the turn with a completely vanilla board.

I called and he turns over AA. Felt good until he hit's his A on the river (could have been Greenstein, I don't know).

I used much profanity, and my stack took a big hit.

Came back strong, though, and who do I go HU with?


Yes, Mr. A on the river, and I DESTROYED him for a nice win.
