just looking for some feedback. I've played quite a while, feel pretty confident in my game, spent the last year or so studying, and wanna give it another shot after taking most of the last year off... this is more of a community discussion (not really about me) about bankroll management, but wanna get some input
"I have a $2k online poker bankroll, play primarily NLHE, and live in the US, and want to be sustainable"... what kind of bankroll road map should I have if I want to:
play just ring games?
just SNG's?
just MTT's?
all 3?
I'm doing something similar right now after taking the last few years off to study. I've found that when hopping back in the most important thing is to do what gives you the most enjoyment (unless you are playing professionally of course)
I found the Sit n Gos on America's Cardroom to be extremely soft in both the single table format and in the 'on demand' multi table format. The great thing too is that buyins run from $0.5 all the way up to $100, so you can play them while you build to $10k+
The ring games are also solid and if you like to multitable they're a great option. Blitz/Rush is available as well, personally I find it a bit too fast paced and more stressful than regular tables. They're a great way to get reps in and build comfort in deepstack situations
MTTs are fun and exciting but take a ton of time, I usually play them 1x a week at most because of the time commitment involved. That being said, by playing cash games and SNGs during the week I keep my game very sharp so I feel in rhythm for MTTs.
Buyin wise with your roll I would play $10-50 games/tables if I were in your spot. On days I'm feeling super sharp I'd push the upper limit, and on days I'm feeling more tired but want to stay in that poker mindset I'd play on the lower limit and still get reps in.
Another thing that's very valuable to consider is what you want to study (if anything), I found the easiest way to get back up to a high level of poker is to go thru a poker course or two which is well structured and then play the same format taught. Lots of great options out there! :ciao:
