I prefer to buy-in max and play on levels, where my bankroll is able to sustain it (General consensus is that a bankroll of 20xbuy-in is a minimum, so in your situation a bankroll of 4000-10000$ would be minimum)

But pro's and con's of buying in at half max short in order to minimize variance instead of playing a max buy-in at a lower level ?? (Say buying in with 100 at 2/4$ instead of buying in 100 at 1/2$)

Intuatively I say your are giving up profit on your big draws, but since you do not payoff is draw misses, but might get paid off if draw hit. I have a feeling that the profit you give up on is smaller than the potential loss.


Anyone else ???
