How much do you need for a little 3/6 B&M play?
 

I've read WLLH and have been beating Party .5/1. I don't have a proper bankroll for 3/6 but I would like to take a little field trip. Just have a night out for fun and keep it seperate from my online play. What's a realistic amount to go into a normal loose 3/6 riverboat game (Trump IN) and at least be able to play the night if the cards arent hot?

just for fun
 

two racks should be enough

If you lose more than 3 racks, then it's probably not your night.

I wouldn't waste my time going all the way to a casino, without at least $200 for a $3/$6 game.

Normally you buy in for 25x the big bet and if you are card dead and play tight, that should last 4-5 hours. At 3-6 seems most people buy in for a rack of white ($100) so I usually do the same but have more money in my pocket.

If you are a LAG, one rack probably won't last very long unless you are running good.

I go along w/ the people who say to bring enough for 2 racks. At Trump that will be $200 of very dirty chips.

Keep in mind that Trump plays a full kill at 3/6. That may affect things a bit.

Buy in for $150 and have another $100 in reserve.

$300

Re: How much do you need for a little 3/6 B&M play?
 

I would bring $300, although $200 should be enough most of the time. Many people buy in for $100, but then again, many people are stone suckers. If the game has a full kill as someone mentioned, I'd bump it to $400, but again, $200-300 should be enough. If it is a full kill, you're going to be playing a lot bigger than you're used to, which may make you uncomfortable.

25 x The big blind is the generally accepted buy-in rule around here. So $150 (rack and 1/2) is ideal. Since most of your opponents will buy in for only 1 rack, you might consider doing the same to avoid suspission, with $50 on the side once you go below $75 in chips.

IOf however the game is a full kill game, bump up your buyin by at least another 1/2. Also keep an extra $100 or so around in the event you suck-out early. But then again if you suck out that quickly, perhaps you should call it a day.
