BRM for different games?

Lately I've been wondering what kind of bankroll I need for each type of game, So I'm going to post all the different games I know how to play and if you all could help me out with what kind of BR I need for each I would really appreciate it!

I already know a few...
1)FLHE- 300 Big Bets or 30 Buy-ins
2)NLHE-1,000 Big Blinds or 10 Buy-ins
3)PLO- 2,000 Big Blinds or 20 Buy-ins
4)Omaha Hi/Lo
5)FLO
6)7Stud
7)7Stud Hi/Lo
8)Razz
9)5 Card Draw
10)2-7 Single Draw NL,PL, and FL
11)2-7 Triple Draw FL,NL, and PL
As always thanks in advance!

Those are very agressive brm's you have outlined as being what you know, but again sure as a recreational and if you can simply replenish the br if you bust it then they could work.

However even 20bi of 100bb for NL would be agressive, let alone 10. PLO has higher varience than holdem, so yes 2x the brm you follow for NLHE certainly wouldn't hurt.

I do believe what you have for FL is probably similar to what I saw when i looked at it one time, recall a 500-600 but that could have been bb and not BB.

Re others I'd think anything FL would fall the same. Can't say for sure regarding the NL or PL variations of 2-7 but as a standard rule I think 20buyins would be minimal regardless of the variation if looking to maintain and not risk an easily busted br.

Just my thoughts, not sure how many if any people we have grinding FL games on the cash side let alone 2-7, razz etc. So not really sure what the general consensus for a brm on those are aside from FLHE.

Yeah, I've been hearing a lot about how my BRM is a bit aggressive, but on the flip side all of those numbers (1000BB and such) are straight out of Matthew Hilger's book The Poker Mindset. Have these rules been changed? I wouldn't doubt that as the case being that the book was written in '07 but I've heard those numbers thrown around in other places by other pros. By the way thanks for your response...and I mostly grind FL cash game also, its kind of weird I'm a relatively new player but at the same time part of a dying breed of FL players.

Think you are way off here...

PLO you would need a min of 50bi if you are serious about playing it.
NLH I would say 30 is fine if you are 6 tabling.

The more the better

30 buyins for FLHE and 10 buyins for NLHE ?? [cash games i guess]
Don't you think this should be the other way round ??

It would be like taking BB gun to a war where everyone would be pointing missiles towards you .

I mean i would take more sophisticated ammunition to a war which is more dangerous/risky.

10 BI isn't nearly enough for NLH. Chris Ferguson used 20 BI in his bankroll challenges, but he was a tight player at levels where he had a very significant skill advantage. This meant his risk of going broke was far less than average, so he could use more aggressive BRM. Looser players and / or those who don't have such an advantage should increase their min. BIs accordingly.

I mean't 10 buy-ins for FLHE, just typed the wrong thing.
300/30=10

Who said anything about 6 tabling?

Alright all these response have not actually been serving the purpose of this thread. I'm looking for responses on BR's for the unlisted games not the games I've already listed.

Well nobody here grinds/ plays those mixed games seriously so maybe thats why nobody has answered it in terms of Bankroll yet

Yea, I probably should post this on 2+2 I know they have players who are serious, and play these games.

I use the same BRM across the board.

Whether its Fixed/Pot/NL, I just keep it standard.

I keep it pretty simple.

40 BI - for all Limit games
80 BI - NL Games.

Whether its Cashies, Sit-n-go's or Tourneys doesnt matter. I do the same for all & I know it's not the recommended for each, but its easy for me to remember.
