2 Table tourney bankroll, ReMMy, 3. Nov 2003 18:53

Hi all,

Last week I decided to take a break from my normal limit game as I was running cold. I went back to something I used to enjoy a lot which is SnG NL tourneys. I used to play anywhere from 8-15 NL 1 table tourneys a day(only $5 and $10), and I would consistently place in the money.

Anyways, last week I started playing the 18 SnG's at Pokerstars. I played some 5 + .50 and I'm now playing 10 + 1. I haven't played many trny's but I've already registered a first place, a second place, 2 third places, and a couple fourth places(one I had to leave for work so i started going all in even though I had biggest stack).

So my question is how big of a bankroll would you guys suggest for this type of play. Do people still "run bad" in this type of game? I've never experienced a really bad streak in NL tourneys, moderate, but not horrible.

Right now I have $330 on Pokerstars, which is what I made while working off a deposit bonus and another $80-100 in SnG profit(I withdrew my original deposit).

Should I be playing $20 or $30 trny's? Are they much more difficult? Should I deposit some money from another site into Pokerstars and move up in limits?

All suggestions appreciated, thanks!
