No way, you should have $20,000 bank roll to be multitabling 5/10. You can easily multi-table 100 SNG's with $5,000 or $10,000 bankroll if you are conservative.

To put it into perspective if you have a 10 buy in down swing at 2/4 NL that is $4,000. (This is not unheard of by the way; i've heard of people tilting this away in one night).

At the 100's in the SNG's that is a 40 buy in down swing. Those are extremely, extremely rare...

To me 3/6NL is more like the 100's 5/10 is possibly compared to the 200's, possibly i still feel that 5/10 plays on a higher level...

Only reason party doesn't have a higher SNG level is because the steps are such a rake trap for them.

The OP was quite clear that he was talking about standard of play or 'feel' as he put it, not bankroll requirement.

Having played both I'd say 5/10 is probably about the same size as $100 SNGs. BR reqs and win rates should be similar as well for players of equal skill.

The $5s are probably the smallest game available on party, the 10s are basically in line with .5/1. 20s, 1/2, 30s are probably around 2/4.

The big difference in the 20s and 30s vs 1/2 and 2/4 is that I think much bigger win rates are possible compared to the limit counterparts.

I've played all those games bar 5/10 and it sounds right to me.

If this were true no one would be playing 5/10.

edit: I was talking about limit.

This has been shown to not be true (steps being a "rake trap"). If anything its because Party (as opposed to Empire or Euro) has a monopoly on the high end SNGs with the steps and has no desire to share rake with the other skins.
