Re: What kinds of swings can one expect on the Party 5-10 6max?
 

I was playing 5/10 this morning. My first 300 hands I dropped over 70BB. Over the next 600 hands I made 140BB. Neither swing was very impressive in terms of what I've experienced before.

Re: What kinds of swings can one expect on the Party 5-10 6max?
 

Dont listen to all this. 300BB is very sufficient if you are a good player. The play is very weak passive and if you have decent reading skills you will probably ask what kinda swings is expected at 10/20 in a month. Just set yourself a rule that if you hit 200BB you'll move down again and try later once you have 300BB.

This coming from the man playing in the kiddy pool of $3/6 still? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Man, I'm going to do anything I can to get at you, cause I'm still mad you jacked my bed AND had the balls to leave In & Out UNEATEN on the night stand... then to top it off, it was too damn cold for me to eat!! The inhumanity....


Oh, and because of AA v KK... see you at Bunkfest =)



As for OP, I say $20k minimum [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Seriously, I'd say 10k and I'd be very comfortable with the game. Then again, I'm waiting for 40k to play the $10/20, so don't listen to me.

Re: What kinds of swings can one expect on the Party 5-10 6max?
 

8-10k, definitely.

5k is not enough as you will have to drop down if you hit downswing starting out.

Re: What kinds of swings can one expect on the Party 5-10 6max?
 

I play 3 games of 5/10 NL games at once. I think you need a serious bank roll of 30k. If you only play one game at a time 10k would be right.

My average swings are between 1k to 3k a day. 4k 8k if I'm on tilt.

I'm only jumping in here because I was the one that recommended tilts play 5/10 6 max instead of 15/30 in another thread.

The bankroll recommendations in this thread are absurd. 10k for the Party 5/10 6 max, lol.

If you can lose 10k in the 5/10 6 max, you probably shouldn't be playing poker.

Because the psycho effects are far worse for someone starting out 5/10 sh with 300 bb than for a seasoned player who choses to play with 300 bb (cashouts), after a big down swing.

When you start out, you still don't have full confidence. Being over-rolled is good.

If it were a jump from 2/4 to 3/6 full, then 300bb to 400bb is easily enough.

Being over-rolled is good. I am a big fan of it and have always practiced it.

On the other hand, the OP claims to have 200,000 hands of 2/4-5/10 full at 3.5BB/100. He should have plenty of cash and basically be able to sit down at 5/10 6 max with a very small bankroll and hit the ground running.

He is wanting to play 15/30, I am recommending against it, as the questions he is asking aren't indicitave of someone ready to beat the 15/30 for very much. I think he will make more in the 5/10 and improve his play while getting used to the bigger swings by taking the 6 max path. Given his claimed success in the full games, his risk of ruin with even a very small bankroll provided he is willing to drop back is basically 0.

Of course, since he's ready to play 15/30, I don't even know why he's posting a bankroll thread question about 5/10. Clearly he has the roll.
