Default how many buyins

I've had a few problems (nothing major and always resolved) with some medium sizes cashouts recently, and I'm thinking I'd like to keep most of my online roll in neteller instead of deposited on individual sites.

for those of you that do this, how many buyins do you keep on an individual site that you plan on 4 tabling at? I am thinking 3 buyins per table should be enough.

3 buyins per table sounds high. I'd say # of tables + 3 seems plenty. I mean, if you all the sudden run poorly, just add some more on to that acct. On ultimate bet, I can add cash from neteller in like 10 seconds, no biggie.

But I guess it just depends on how much extra money you have floating around. For me, it doesn't really matter if an account builds up to pretty a high amount since I trust my money in these big sites and that I have no expenses, so I won't be using this money for anything ever anyways.

i think you can get by with as few as 8 buy ins with an occasional rare problem, or 10 buy ins should be fine.

No, don't worry about it. I played on several different skins and it seemed like I was always subject to a random security check which consisted of me having to mail in drivers license, bill, proof of address. It was just annoying becuase I would cash out and by the time we exchagned information, sent emails back and forth, etc it was 3 weeks later. Just felt somewhat uncomfortable having all that money somewhere in cyberspace while they sorted it out. There customer service is always polite and friendly, but make no mistake, definitely retarded. I could probably talk to 20 different reps an hour and none would have a clue about what the other said, where I stood etc, I started CCing emails to like 20 different people to get ont eh same page. Really annoying. Plus I really don't like the idea of emailing my driver's license around the internet.

i'm just curious, whats the reason for not keeping more than 10 buyin's in the sites?

The possibility that the site may go bankrupt?
