| "You say that you might be off good playing Sitt & Go's with 5 times the buy-in. No offence but that's bull****. "
I do take offence. How can you think you can tell someone they are talking bull and try and add the caveat "no offence"? Doesn't work to be fair.
It all depends on how you play and how good you are. I'm not talking about just coming 1st. If I trawled through my records I'd be hard pushed to find 5 total losses in a row. I've def had 3 or 4 at worst.
That's why I said x10 or maybe x5 if you are good. Sure you can be unlucky and have a crap streak, but to be fair, if you are in trouble in SNGs, at low levels like 5 and 10 bucks, all you have to do is go ultra tight and wait for the table to reduce to 3 players. Coming 3rd in SNGs (10 seat) is childs play if you can resist the temptation to gamble.
I shoot for 1st as 3rd is not worth the effort or time.
For someone who is doing well at SNGs and had a bankroll of $50 - I'd say play 5$ games. till you get to $100, then go for $10 games. If you bust out, reload and lower your sights. Somtimes playing within very rigid bankrol "rules" can mess up your game. You end up playing below your level, getting bored, and losing because of your boredom and contempt of the competition. It happened to me.
I am aware that a lot of the bankrol guidelines help a lot of people, but at the same time, everyone is unique. Sometimes people need to follow rules to help them , sometimes they need to break out and do their own thing.  |
