Bankroll questions/advice please

I'll try and keep this short.

I'm a decent recreational player across a few sites. (slightly in profit online from about 3 years play- quite a nicely in profit live).

Rather than withdrawing winnings/depositing if necessary and playing a host of games across a wide range of buy ins I am looking to actually manage my bankroll and start playing for profit a bit more seriously. ( I've been doing it for the love ha) 

Here's my initial plan.


Looking to play MTT's (buy in's £3.30/£5.75/£11) Is this too wide a range?

Low stakes cash 10/20p and move up as my profit progresses (fingers crossed)


Any advice on my initial start up, how I should be managing it, or what to do when I want to big a big shot and play the main events?

Also I will try and do a diary to keep me motivated and track my progress, and hopefully get some advice from you good people.




Cheers




Shaun

    How many tables do you play?

    If 1 or 2, £500-600 would be fine.

    If you play 4 plus tables, would make it more £800.

    If you win £40 quid at cash, you could just say i'll buy in directly to the main or try satellites.

    Rule of thumb.

    Ring games 2% of BR

    MTT's 1% of BR

    SNG's 2% of roll.

    I just play 2 tables on sky, I can play 4 on some other sites but my game reverts to very abc poker. I don't like the mini view on sky, cant get used to it at all! On top of that I don't think my laptop like it either!!


    Thanks for the pointers, much appreciated
