Assuming your play doesn't suffer when you add more tables, the number of tables you play should have no affect on your bankroll requirements. 30 buyins is acceptable for most people.

Should be but I have had a 26 OTM streak in the 22s. I was glad I had $3000 in my account and not $600.

Okay, well if anyone would be interested, I'll keep you posted on how well it works out.

My plan thus far is to play 11s till I hit 660, then grind out 8 hours a day, 6 days a week at 22s.

If you *need* the money that badly and it's frustrating to have a diminished BR, put in some real hours. Play 50-60 a day (I know several on this board that have done that for long stretches) and put together some scratch quickly. If you average $2 per tourney, which is below your projected #s, you should be able to get the $1000 in around 9-10 days. What you choose to do with the remaining 20 days is a matter of personal preference. Some might take the 1k out immediately, others might move up to the 22s and try to build a solid br for the future.

Either way, if you *need* money, the best way to go about it is to actually put the hours in. It might not be fun, but oh well.

A train leaves Santa Fe traveling east at 68 miles per hour. One hour later, the train that left Amarillo traveling west at 61 miles per hour is twice as far from the train leaving Santa Fe as the Santa Fe train is from Denver. How far is Denver from Amarillo assuming the planar angle between the lines connecting Amarillo and Santa Fe, and Santa Fe and Denver is pi/7. You may assume shperical geometry applies to the Earth's surface to simplify.

Is this solvable, with the information given? I haven't touched math in 3.5 years and my HS education didnt cover "planar angles"... but I'm still damn curious [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

How the hell should I know if it can be solved? That's why it's an excercise for the reader. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

To the OP: Making bankroll decisions with specific profit figures in mind is a bad idea. Honestly, you might as well just start out at the 22's with 15 buy-ins if you HAVE to make $1k.

I'd play the $11s until you have $600. If you drop below $400 while doing the $22s, go back down to the $11s.

Having the feeling that you have to show a profit in a short period of time sucks and a downswing feels much worse. Pay close attention to your mood. If you feel off balance at the $22s, you should either drop down to the $11s no matter what your BR is or take the day off. If you are somewhat tilt immune, ignore this last paragraph.

Re: SNG BR vs. Cashout Math Issue
 
Im not tilt immune, no one is really, but I haven't let it affect my play in a very long time.

Honestly, I plan to not look at profits at 11s till I see a number around 600, and then not look at em again till I hit the end of my month.

Im really surprised at and grateful to all the helpful responses to this problem. I dont know if yall have experienced this before, Im sure you have, and it's unsettling.

So the final plan is in action: Im hitting the 11s, playing 10 sets a day, and then Im going to move to the 22s.
