Default Re: Building a Bankroll

If your funds are low, you should take steps to minimize your risk of ruin. Even if you're a master at 100NL and don't know it, with your current bankroll one bad day could still wipe you out.

Personally, I never want to make another deposit at Party (except for bonus-whoring purposes), which sounds like what you want, too. So I'm shooting for 20 buy-ins for a level before I play it regularly. If my roll drops to 10 buy-ins, I plan to drop back down. 20 buy-ins seems to be regarded on this forum as a quite safe bankroll for avoiding ruin, and from personal experience with variance that feels about right.

You're doing fine so far. At your current pace, it will only take you about a month to roll up 20 buy-ins for NL50. Keep it up and you could be playing for big stakes in just a few months, while still protecting yourself from busting out. That's not too long to wait, is it?
