Bankroll Help

[CptnNemo]

So last december I bought in Party Poker for $50 and began playing 2/4. In the next three weeks I was up $1400, and cashed my winnings out.

I waited a month and then purchased back in for $100. Began playing 2/4 and $5+1 or $10+1 tournys. I've suffered what I could consider a string of bad beats. I've purchased back in for $100 four times since then and run though my money each time.

My question is about bank roll. If I want to play 2/4 how much should I be buying in for? I heard 300bb which is $1200, that seems like a huge amount. Should I buy in at $100 and play only .50/1? Should I dabble in tournaments or stick to money tables? I'm new to this, and want to make sure I end up on the plus side. Any advice is good, thank you.

#1. You posted in the wrong forum.

#2. For SSNL you should have 10-15x the max buy-in at the table.

#3. For limit you should have roughly 300-400x Big Bets as a bank roll. If you have $100 you shouldn't be playing .5/1... You should buy in for $300 and play .5/1.

#4. I'm almost convinved online sites make you win big at the beginning so you can throw it all back + more. Due to this I suggest you study lots and only play in live games before you take up online too seriously. I also suggest multi-tabling online to increase your # of BBs per hour or bbs per hundred hands.

Good luck!

If the above sentence is not sarcastic, it's asinine.

Its asinine... but that aside, all my info looks good to me.

I apologize for posting in the wrong forum. New to this and didn't see the limit/no limit SS distinction.
