bankroll size

What size bankroll should I have if I want to play 25$NL?

$500 minimum. At least 20 buy-ins is the general rule for NL. You might can get away with 10-15 buy-ins, but it's not recommended. Hell.. I started off with $10. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Do you want to multi-table? I multi-table 4 $200 buy-in games and keep about $2500-$3000 in my roll. I don't think there's a specific amount of buy-ins that you need...just play somewhere that you feel comfortable, but you are also excited, challenged, and motivated to play. Good luck to you Mycroft [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Where do you get 20 buy-ins from? I think that's a little unnecessary.

Whatever the point is where dropping 1 buy-in doesn't phase you at all. I have 15 buyins for the game I play right now and I feel comfortable with that. Its all up to you.

This has been addressed in the FAQ that some have recently been trying to put together and finalize. If you are playing a ring game there is less variance and you can probably get away with a smaller bankroll at 10 buy-ins, for six max 20 is better to cover the variance.
