Hey guys,

I know your only suppose to have 5% of your bankroll on the table at any one time (for cash games) but how does this relate to multitabling?

For example, if you play 4 tables 2NL do you need $40 or $160?

This has a really big impact on when to move up to 5NL as you can imagine.

Thanks in advance

Good question because you made me think for a while there as I started to doubt myself a bit :p but as far as I know there is no value for number of tables in a BRM formula, which makes sense. As a matter of fact, the point of multi tabling is that you just multiply the speed of your progress, if you are playing it right of course, according to the BRM rules.

Thanks for replying.

Just to clarify your answer - I know the number of tables doesn't matter but what does "on the table" mean?

If you could give a specific example that'd be great! I think what your saying is in the 2NL you only need $40 no matter the tables.

This just seems odd to me as for example a 20 tabling cash player would then have nothing in his bankroll and he could lose it all in one session.

on the table.. How much money is in play while playing.

So if your winning huge on one table in 2nl could be $10+ ...

If your not careful you could have a huge amount of money in play and risk a higher amount of bankroll if your not careful.


The percentage of your bankroll at risk is increased as you win more and more during a session. So sometimes getting off a table with a lot of money is best option to keep the percentage of money in play lower.

Exactly, I agree with both replies.
You need to follow a BRM strategy (I personally like the BRM from the BSS - Big Stack Strategy, which argues that you always buy-in for the maximum the table allows, and you need to have 25 of those buy-ins at least) that tells you how much the buy-in is, and how many buy-ins you should have on your bankroll to play at a certain limit. If you can, I'd also follow a 'minimum stack' and 'maximum stack' at a table. For example, if I buy-in for 100BBs at NL2 ($2) I will rebuywhen I hit 50-80BBs, and get away from the table when I get 150-180BBs, unless I have a pretty good reason to stay at the table (for example, 1 or 2 very fishy players I have position on, but otherwise I found leaving the table helpful to protect my earnings and because I tend to get ****y with a big stack and start making dumb plays. Other strategies (for example SSS - Short Stack Strategy - and pretty sure MSS have already fixed numbers for when you should rebuy and leave the table).
But once you are following a strategy, it applies no matter how many tables you are in. The only thing you need to do is to keep your eye in the BankRoll when you open a table. For example, you may have 4 tables open and when you are oppening the 5th you realize you only have $40 left, so you should open a NL2 table instead :)

EDIT: You can't censure a legit adjective just because the first 4 letters form a "bad word"
