re: buy-ins poker
Depends on your winrate and what your acceptable risk of ruin is. 20 buy-ins is usally the absolute minimum standard rule.
I like Harrington's advice on moving up. When you have 150% for the next level, move up. So if you start with 20 buyins at $25nl ($500) move up to $50 when you have 30 buyins for that level ($1500). Then if you lose 1/2 your new roll, drop back down ($750). In this way even if you lose at the new level, you got experience, now have more money in your roll from where you started, drop back down to your old level likely as a better player, and repeat the process. Of course for a losing player, there's no bankroll management strategy that will work. They'll always go broke no matter what precautions they take. |

The 20 bi minimum imo doesn't work at 100nl or up unless you have a very strong winrate (even then...), you need more to weather the variance there. |

How many hands is this over? Hard to say if it's a downswing or you are just not good enough at 50nl yet.
You should have moved down a limit after you lost 5 buyins. Play on 25nl till you get back to 20 buyins for 50nl. Repeat as needed. |
