Bankroll for Party $2k PLO
 

What size bankroll do you feel is appropriate to play the Party $2k PLO? I know in limit, 300x the BB is kind of a standard.

How about PL or NL?

Re: Bankroll for Party $2k PLO
 

From memories of previous threads on this subject something between 30 and 60 buy-ins. (or $2 million if you are Big Dave D [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

People recommend a 50k bankroll for 10/20 NLHE, so PLO should be as much if not more. PLO is swingier then HE and at that level I'd imagine the players are pretty good so you'll be forced to get your chips in a lot of the time on a draw or with a set against a draw, and when your running bad you can drop 10 buy ins pretty easily. I think at this level 25 is the minimum with 50 buy ins being a good #, so 100K, would be the number I would feel safe playing 10/20 PLO.

You would have to have a pretty good paying job just to replenish your bankroll at the $2000 PLO level.

Bankrolls for other games not listed would be much appreciated; feel free to just go in and edit.

I'd want 150k if I was planning on setting up shop. But in reality I'd probably brave proctracted shots with 60k or even less because I'm stupid.

That was for 5-10...I needed an infinite br for 10-20 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't think there's any problem taking a shot at a higher level if you were winning at a lower level, the problem with Omaha is that there is such a big jump, so its hard to take shots at the 2k game and recoup losses in the 200/400 games. If you are a winning 5/10 NL or up player I don't see any reason not to take a shot or two at the PLO game if you set some loss guidelines ahead of time

Re: Bankroll for Party $2k PLO
 

Yeah I've taken lots of shots at the 10/20. My problem is when i run good I don't want to step back down! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

25 buy ins is $50,000. If you can't easily earn/get your hands on that size bankroll you shouldn't even be asking the question. For a 21 year old college student that may seem impossible for a 50 year old business owner it could be spare change. In keeping with the standard poker responce "it depends".

Re: Bankroll for Party $2k PLO
 

I think the best approach is to play lower games and take shots at 2kPLO from time to time when you have sth like 20k in your acccount. The thing is that Party 2kPLO is supersoft right now especially if you play at right times of the day. If you nutpeddle you should be able to earn good $$$ with smaller bankroll. Of course I assume that you know how to intelligently nutpeddle in PLO (this includes avoding some good coinflips on the flop) I believe this kind of play still wins money in these games and you dont need so big bankroll for that. Also you can buyin short like for 1k and nutpeddle even more which should be quite profitable.
I feel that to play normal game you need something like 50k though.

Best wishes

I doubt this is as true or as easy as you state. Nutpeddling when everyone is is very aggressive and tricky can be very very difficult. I can't think of even one player, in all my time in that game and in the Stars who would fit that description and still be a winner. And 20k would only be sensible shot taking money if you were happy to lose it all. And 50k would also be much too small a roll in that game too.

I just wanted to second this. While I think the games are definitely beatable, there are many players who will make nut peddling a very difficult and expensive task. You'd be lucky to win 2ptb/100 long-term if they had their say.

That being said, I believe that if you were extremely anal about game selection and very very cognizant of relative position, data-mined the games and avoided certain line-ups, etc you could do OK taking short-stacked shots. There are other ways to make comprobable dough with a much lower ROR.

I took a shot and dropped 6 buyins in about 75 minutes when my overall ev was in the ~-.5 buyin range. Imagine if you did that a couple days in a row, and you can image what kind of roll you need for constant play.
