BANKROLL?

CaliStyle · #1 03-20-2005, 04:30 AM

How many BB should I have to play a tight-passive $10/$20 game and how BB do you think I need to play in a loose aggressive $20/$40 game. Live, not on the internet.

It doesn't matter whether or not it is live or online. Do you see why?

The answer to both is minimum 300 bbs and many would recomend more.

Im seriously tired of hearing about all this BR stuff....If you have a job other than poker your BR can be whatever you want it to be, if your doing poker full time then yes BR is important. I am sure the Kids grinding out the 1-3 hold'em at turning stone do not have 900 dollars. I know I don't have adequate bankroll to be playing the 20/40 at TS, but I also go to college and have parents that still support me If I lose say 2 or 3k I'll quit for a while.

People who play seriously don't lump all their money together. We have bankrolls with money set aside just for poker/gambling. This is a good way to track how well you are doing and if you have a bad session you don't have to do without food until you win some money.

50-100BB's if you want to cover most eventualities, though 30-50 is cool too.

peace
