| Styx- Here's how I would do it, but my disclaimer is this: I keep much more than most players, because I REALLY hate to play scared. It is absolutely not necessary to bring this much, just what works for me: on 8.

For me, I don't think it's a good idea to ever carry alot of money with you if you can help it, but if you're talking about a $1-2, or a $4-8 game, then I would just bring whatever I felt comfortable with. Enough to play the limit correctly. I wouldn't want to be short on funds during the game but I wouldn't be bringing my life savings with me either! How much exactly will be up to you, and what you're used to, I suppose. But I would probably bring more (as far as Xing that amount by the BB were concerned) if the limit was say $20-40 because you'll experience more swings there than opposed to a $1-2 game. | ||

| My general rule has been: First buy-in is 15x the big bet, with another 15 BB behind it in my pocket. Higher limits- 20/40- I might buy in for only 10x, because the game shouldn't be as loose/crazy in general as lower limits | ||

But it doesn't always stop me from feeling stressed. I can lose 50 big bets in world-record time. But, I think I play a much more volatile game than you do. I like to win a lot. But, if that doesn't happen, I like to lose a lot, so I feel like the time wasn't wasted. Straight Flushes, Mike Caro | ||

You've got to lose large amounts sometimes, just to prove you can take it like a man. If it doesn't happen through bad luck, you've got to got to work and manufacture a huge loss. This is necessary. Ask around, and you'll see what I mean. Straight Flushes, Mike Caro (who strangely teaches that it's just as important to make a loss smaller as to make a win bigger) | ||

| I like to buy in with a short stack. I usually buy in 15 big bets, but have another 35 in my wallet. | ||
