Re: Buy In
[ QUOTE ]
Proper bankroll = 300 x The Big Bet
If bankroll = $60, then Big Bet = $0.20.
[/ QUOTE ]First off, where did you get the fact that his bankroll was $60? He said he bought in for $60 each session. That make you think he has $60 total?
Second, "proper bankroll" is a pretty vague term. Macdona1, if you have an allotted bankroll which, if busted, will end your poker career, then you need 300 BB. This calculation is already assuming you're a winning player. (It also makes some assumptions about HOW winning.)
However, if you're able to lose 150 BB, wait a few paychecks, and then get back in the game, then ignore these bozos telling you that you have to have 300BB in the bank. You just have to be able to lose 250BB and keep playing.
That said, if you can't buy-in for a 25BB at a game, you shouldn't be playing it. In fact, I rebuy as soon as I hit 12BB; I want to make sure I don't have to go all-in. If you're a better player than your opponents, you should want the chance to make as many decisions as possible, not watch the all-in.
