Default bank roll for multi-tabling SNGs

Sorry about my other post (re: making money at SNGs); once I spotted the very long thread on the same topic, I felt stupid.

But, indulge me:
How many tables do you usually play?
How big a BR do you need to multi-table SNGs?
Would you recommend starting at the $5, or playing the $20?

Single-tabling the $10, I've been consistently making money, and my (very) few forays at the $20 have been good, but maybe if I multi-table I should play the $5 for a while?

I only started playing SNGs a month ago.

As far as multitabling, its probably good to start at the 10s, I think the 5s would be a waste of time. I think about 50x the buy in is relatively standard for bankroll.

Never play the $5s!!! The $1 fee is obscene.

Never play the $5s, even if you are single-tabling.

You need at least 100+ buyins if you are going to seriously multitable 22s+. If you are recreational player, I can see you having a bankroll of 50-60.

The swings can be tough. Believe me.

100 seems excessive, if you can mentally take swings, I really think 50-60 is plenty. If you are losing 50 buy ins you probably arent a winning player, and if you are not by much.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. Plenty of winning players on this board have had 50 buyin swings, especially at the $55s+.

At the 55s I believe it, but at the 10s and 20s? I could of course be way off, I'm just going with my experience with only about 750-1000 games.

Well, yeah, I dunno. Just saying that 50 isn't unheard of. I'm not sure what the worst is at <$33 games.

100 buyins at the 22s is extremely excessive. Try a moving bankroll instead if you are willing to jump up and down in limits. When you have $xxxx move up to the next stake, when you drop $xxxx jump back down.

Deep bankrolls are only needed when you don't want to move back down during a downseing. E.g, when I get to the $109s I want to stay there so will have a silly sized BR.

Oh believe me, I AM a winning player, and Ive had a 35 buyin downswing already. I also wouldnt be surprised if a BIGGER downswing happens to me in the future. Variance is a lot greater than most people here are willing to admit. A bigger bankroll is always good, if not for practical, then for psychological reasons.
