 NL bankroll, philly, 25. Dec 2003 11:54 | ||

| I'm playing mostly online NL holdem. These games have a capped buyin and a relatively small blind structure. I feel as though I'm ready to move up in limits, but I'm trying to figure out where my bankroll needs to be in as a function of either the max buyin or the blinds. Any thought would be greatly appreciate. | ||

| I am sure this is a bit conservative, but I have read that the bankroll for a limit game should be 300 times the BB for the game you are playing. I am not sure how this would vary for a NL game, but it would make sense that you would need a large bankroll than you would in a similiar blind structured limit game. Lee | ||

| Your bankroll for no limit really heavilly depends on your style of play. There are very good NL players who will make big over the top moves fairly often and either book big wins or big losses ... if you're one of these players then you'll need a very big bankroll ... I think that 40 buy-ins is necessary. If instead you're the sort of player who rarely finds himself all in, books very modest wins and almost never rebuys, then I think something to the tune of 15-20 buyins is sufficient. The long and short of it though, is that NL hold'em is a very swingy game ... I personally won't play NL for anywhere near where I'll play limit games. I'll sit at 20-40 limit anytime (and I just moved up to that recently), but I'll shy away from a NL game with blinds bigger than 1-2. | ||

| In a game where the max buy-in is 100x the big blind, I think about 1000xBB is about right. So for 1-2 NL with $200 buy-in, you need about $2000. It's a different ballgame than limit, imagine you have ten beats in row (it happened to me about a month ago) within a short period of time. Every time you have the best of it, but the other player draws and beats you. It's not that unlikely, if you play long enough. Anyway, keep that in mind if you think 1000BB seems excessive. | ||
