dj confirmed br nit lol.^^ Um…100 full buy-ins at 5nl is $500, not $5000. And I think 'traditional' BRM would suggest 20-30 rather than 100 unless your a mid-high stakes pro who depends on poker for income.
The "most efficiently" was simply added to imply that I wanted to know when the right time to move up stakes would be appropriate while still maintaining good bankroll management. Thank you for the input!
what happen if you lose all your bankroll? then are you broken? then you need like 100-200 buyins
if your money is part of your budget for recreation, then you can manage less than 50 buyins and play with some spare and have fun enough until you run out again
If you are playing with 30-50 buy ins and you go broke, you may want to sharpen your skills.
IMO, you can probably get by with 20+ buy ins safely as long as you're not super LAG. I play 1/2 NL live, and I've only got like 10 buy ins...if dj is a bankroll nit, I guess that makes me a bankroll super LAG aggro spewtard.
I'm a bankroll ultra-nit.
I only move up when I have 120 buy-ins of higher stake.
While I mostly played sngs, I only moved up when I have 120 buy-ins of higher stake. Once I moved up, if I'm down to 100 buy-ins, I drop back down to analyze my plays of why I have lost 20 buy-ins at higher stakes but meanwhile, I would grind those 20 buy-ins back at lower stakes since I'm capable of doing it which is why I was able to move up in the first place, and then take another shot at higher stakes. This gave me ultra comfort zone while I was able to make LAG plays and even have room for tilt.
I do have to say one thing. If you're planning to do 20-30 buy-ins, you MUST have good tilt control. When I faced downswing and mixed with tilt also, I've gone as far as 30 buy-in downswing. And when I thought that was bad enough, I've seen and heard worse. You must factor in your tilt control level too.
I also had to have lot of buy-ins because I multi-tabled. There's no way I'm gonna feel comfortable opening up 10 tables and putting up half of my money up front at the tables but with my brm, I'm only putting up 10% of my bankroll up front at risk.
Good point about tilt control.
The more buy ins the better, honestly. I wish I had 100 buy ins. But I'm a live player, so the lowest stakes I can play is 1/2. I simply don't have any other choice but to try and grind up a small bankroll. Obviously I wouldn't recommend it, though.
At $750 play 25nl
At $1500 play 50nl
At $3000 play 100nl
Really easy
What's this #nl stuff is this for online? I play live games are at the casino but they are 1/2 , 1/3 , 2/4 , 5/10 ??
ok so those would be 200nl, 300nl, 400nl and 1knl. You state yours as the blinds $1/$2. Duggs stated his as the buyin, $200, $300 etc.
