So you think that my bankroll of 20 buy ins per game im playing is too aggresive?

Irunit4times

btw this is a minimum for me, not a standard amount buy a bare minimum to play at a given level. You think this is too low?

It is a little low, 20 buyin swings are not uncommon. Having said that, if you are playing 4 or 5 at a time with 70 buy-ins, that should be fine, just bank your profits until you get to 100 buyins.

Well it is 20 buy ins per game, at 4 games its the equivalent of having 80 buy ins. Is that enough or if I am at 100 buy ins per game then that means at 4 games at a time would require me to have a bankroll of $1400. Does that not sound wayyyy high for a $3.50 sit n go? $3.50 x 100 = $350 x 4 games at a time = $1400 minimum to play $3.50 sit n gos 4 at a time?

The number of tables you play has little to do with bankroll needed.
Avg BI and ROI are most important
I 8 table the 45 man turbos with 30-50 BI.
With the ROI I have I can expect a 50BI downswing < 1% of the time.

No, I guess I'm not explaining myself very well. I was more or less agreeing with your BRM, other than to say, that I would try to keep 100 buyins, regardless of how may tables you are playing. So for the $3.50 games, $350 is good, no matter how many tables you are playing at a time.

This, of course, assumes you are a winning player.

Okay I understand what your saying bout having a minimum of 100 buy ins regardless of the games. However if you play 12 or 16 games at a time, and dont cash in them, your dropping levels after each swing, where if you have 20 x buy ins per game, you will be able to keep playing those limits of 12 or 16 games at a time regardless if you lose every game you should still comfortably be at the same limit game.

Hobbes,

Though I don`t know you that well, I have to disagree that the amount of games you play at a given time don`t affect your bankroll. I think that the amount of games you play at a time directly should reflect your bankroll and the limits in which you should be playing.

It forces you to really play hard and win steady to be able to move up in stakes, opposed to just going on a heater of a day and moving up stakes to just lose and be right back down where you began. If you grind out your current level to make a 20x buy in per game played, you have earned your money and chance to move up and even if you lose you should still comofortable be able to continue to play at those levels until you hit a really big downswing in which case you can drop limits.

Hobbes

A game is a game is a game.
You do lose some ROI but $/hr goes up with multitabling.

If you cannot play 4 games reasonably as efficient as 1, then you should not be playing them.
i.e. if your ROI single tabling is 20% and it drops to 10% with 4 tables at a time, then don't play 4 tables. But if it drops from 20 to 18, that is not significant enough to change your BR mgmt.
