Default Re: Buy In

at 3/6 i always buyin for 2 racks. i would NEVER sit in a game unless i had 25 bets with me ($150 at 3/6). think of it like this: if can put in 4 bets on every street, then you could possibly lose 12 bets in one hand. this is unlikely, but i have seen pots that were indeed capped on every street. $60 is only 10 bets. if you are lucky enough to flop a straigh flush after capping it preflop, dont you want to make sure that you can cap it on every subsequent betting round with the guy that thinks his A high flush is the nuts? some people do give odd looks when i buyin for 2 racks at 3/6, but buying in once for $200 sure beats buying $60 and losing that, only to rebuy 15 times for $20 each time. all that to say, if i were you i would wait until you can comfortably buyin for at least $100-$150.
