buy-in question
long time lurker with a rather random question.. but a few of the books i've read said different things..
When you go to play, say 3-6 or 4-8 limit ring games, how much do you normally buy in with? I've heard anywhere from 100-400 X's the BB amount, but that just seems excessive. Most of the time I buy in with $100 or $150 and do well enough, rarely the times I get swept in the first couple hands I enter and have to buy another rack.. what do you guys say? thanks [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] |

Re: buy-in question
In terms of what to have at the table at any given time, most players here tend to buy in for between 25-50 big bets, so for $4-8 anywhere between $200 and $400.
I've been on a 30 big bet buyin kick lately. The most important thing is to always have enough money in front of you to fully bet your next hand. 12 BBs is enough if a hand is capped on every street. (Theoretically, since there is no cap on the number of raises players can engage in heads-up, you can put way more than this number of bets in.) For a few different reasons, you don't ever want to be all-in when playing limit. 100-400 big bets sounds like figures given for a limit hold'em bankroll. The general figure given here is in the 300 big bet range. If you're just playing recreationally (ie you have something called a "job,") don't sweat bankroll stuff. Just play a limit you're comfortable with and track your results. |

I find that buying in for 2 racks to be advantageous to 1 rack.
