Default Re: What\'s a table bankroll rule of thumb?

I'm lazy and just buyin with the 25BB that Party "suggests"

I'm thinking about upping that to 50BB. Seems like I always get more respect when I have more chips on the table...or maybe my confidence is just that much higher from having won to get to that point [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I sit with 25 BB in front of me, and another 50 in my pocket.

I sit with 30bb. Seems like a nice round #. I reload before dropping below 12bb so I can play any hand to the hilt.

Don't see how you can leave a table being down 7.5bb. That's like two bad-beat hands in a row. I always try to play a pre-set amount of time (when I go on, I tell myself what time I'm stopping) but sometimes if I drop 20-30bb and I know it's a danger to affect my play, I will stop.

I always buy in for 50BB simply because I start to panic when I get down to around 15BB so I don't want to start with 25. Plus I always want to keep 12BB in reserve for when I get pocket aces and flop quads against a maniac who gets a full house. Honestly though it doesn't matter what you buy in for. Just a matter of what you are comfortable with. I also tend to top off my stacks every time they drop 10/20BB.

Yes, it does. Getting all-in at limit poker is a sin.

I thought this went without saying, but given there are a few noobs reading, I'll reiterate Grunch's statement...there's nothing worse getting dealt a hand with less than 12bb's in front of you. That miracle time you have AA against KK and the flop comes AAK, you need to cap all three streets. It is rare that you flop the nuts and get action, when you do you want to be able to get all you can.
