Thinking about building my bankroll by playing these. I just don't want to play the $1 DoN's.
If you're willing to move down, 20 buy-ins (bi's) with a 10% return on investment (roi) and 30 buyins with a 5% roi. If you're not, 30 (bi's) with a 10% roi and 40 bi's. Fwiw, 5% roi = 56.7% in the money (itm) and 10% roi = 59.5% itm.
Jesus 300x the buy-in? That's outrageous. Phil Ivey could barely enter the WSOP if he followed this rule!
I think his bankroll is much bigger than that
na im fine with bank roll management I tend to stick to 20-30 myself but I just think Extreme losing players should have very tight bank roll management
There is no point in bankroll management for a losing player. When we give bankroll management advice, we must assume they are a winning player. If someone is a losing player, they will eventually lose all there money meaning risk of ruin = 100%. This defeats the purpose of bankroll management.
But that's overkill, luke. Max I would ever feel I needed was 100, and that would be for cash games NLHE. SNG's probably about 50 at max.
Traditional bankroll management is very very overgeneralized. Your risk of ruin is highly dependent on the structure of what you play and your cashing distribution (this is basically your roi). Just as an example, if a 5% roi player in the $11 180's plays them with 50 bi's, there is a very large chance they go busto.
