Online Poker Forum - Reworded: Please Help, How many BI's do i need to do this? Thanks

Rhys Parslow

Ive had an idea and wouldnt mind some feedback from sit n go players, I have now finally decided that 6 Max 1 table sit n gos are the strongest part of my game. Ive lost alot of money trying out other things and seem to only have been successful at these. So heres my plan, ive decided that im going to deposit a large quantity of money to either play $11+1 6 max turbos or $6+0.50 6 max turbos. What do you guys feel would be an appropriate amount to deposit for both buy ins, which ever is more realistic for my bank balance is what i will do, well i guess not how much but how many of these should i play, i guess i can do the simple maths. Im hoping that doing this will build me a successful bankroll to either move up in the sng buy ins or continue to play at these levels and try out other things with my profit to improve those areas but also to control the variance of the other parts of my game. Thanks in Advance

I always like to have about 25 buy ins for sit and goes. But I don't play the turbos so you may want a few more in order to compensate for the increased variance that inevitably comes with turbos.

Well , it all depends on your ressources and how much risk you are willing to take.

I've answered a lot of questions regarding that already , but here are a few things you should take into consideration ...

-Having 20 buy-ins would be a minimum . Even with 20 buy-ins there is a risk of going broke. So you must be willing to redeposit. That is , assuming you are a solid player . If all goes well though , with 20 buy ins , it should enable you to climb up faster in stakes.

- If you are not willing to redeposit and don't tolerate too much risk well , then I would suggest opting for a more conservative approach which would be 40 buy-ins . With 40 buy-ins , if you are a solid player , then you should be able to move up fairly quickly and avoid going broke. Although , this would require you to move down in stakes if you had to. So lets say you play the 12$ games , you should have a bankroll of at least 480$ to play those. Should your bankroll go down , you would have to move down to the 6,50$ games.

-Regardless of which approach you want to take , I would strongly advice you against playing 24$ games without 50 buy ins . That is assuming you play 1 or 2 games at a time. The reason is simple , there are a lot better players once you get at those stakes thus the variance will be higher. If you plan on multi tabling 3 to 6 tables , then try to go for a 75+ buy-in approach. If you are looking at griding those stakes with a large volume (7 to 12 tables) then you should have at least a 100 buy-in for any stake 24$ or higher.

Azonicbh is right here.

an absolute minimum would be 20-25 buy-ins.

I personally play 50 buy-ins so that a buy-in only would represent 2% of your total bankroll so you can play rather relaxed then always being rather oncomforteble (or something) with only 150$ playing 24$ sit & go's.

For instance you play with 250$ the 5,5$ sit & go's. And when you've reached 500$ go ahead and play the 11$ sit & go's untill you reach 1000$ and when you drop back to 25 buy-ins, drop a level.

This way you always have a goal to work to at any stake you play. If you reach 250.000$ you can set your goal for a Bugatti Veyron or so. I'm only 1.699.500$ away from that Laughing

Good luck and maybe we will meet at the table some day!

if you're playing turbos i would definitely recommend 40 BI's+ as a minimum. i would say since you want to play 6-max turbos, where the variance is rather high, try to keep your roll above 50BI's. if you plan to multi-table, keep it higher still. reduces your chance of going broke.

i'm extremely nitty when it comes to this, but i play 9-handed reg SNG's, and i didn't move up levels until i had 50BI's for the next level. i just felt more comfortable with that 'buffer' so to speak.
