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.

recommend putting 600 back in and playing a lot of 1/2.. staying focused on that until you can play 2/4. I really do not recommend playing any tournaments until your brankroll has a nice cushion but thats my thoughts..others have their opinons as well.

congratulations, you've found a pretty good formula in going broke by playing 2/4 with 100 bucks.
