I see some of you guys play 10$ tourneys. What kind of bankroll would you suggest to play in bigger tourneys. Right now I play in the 1$ MSNG or MTT.

You can find lots of threads about this if you use the search function.

The biggest thing is whether or not you are willing/able to replenish your bankroll if you lose all the money in your account.

If you don't want to ever put any more in, then it's best to never play a tournament that costs you more than 1/30th of your bankroll. This is what I do, and I've built my roll from $100 to $2500. Of course, it takes forever plus a couple of big paydays.

If you're willing and able to throw more money in, I think 10 buy-ins is fine. Just be aware that the best player in the world could easily lose 10 buy-ins because variance is so high.

Forum FAQ should help you out. 100 buy-ins is reccommended, some like more though, I'd say like 150-200 for big tournies.
