    It depends alot on what you are good at, and what you enjoy.

    You can use some of the online tools, like Sharkscope to analyse some of your stats and performances. Like others have suggested I would stick to one format while you are still relatively new to the game and try to learn a lot about that, and then add the other formats as you get more confident and skilled.

    sorry to hi jack the thread - but i have a question regarding advice being given saying Bobsicool should stick at 5.50 SNGs (welcome to the forums btw)

    hes obviously doing well as he has nearly doubled up - but how many buyins does a player need in their BR to play a sit and go?

    10% of your bankroll seems quite steep.......but im a nit and i rarely play them so maybe im missing a trick?????

    I play all sorts , i prefer Sit n go's as i feel as though that is what i am good at, if i lost a 5.50 sng, i would then go and play another and most of the time i feel as though i can win and normally do, which wouldn't leave me out of pocket.

    however this probably doesn't really answer your question cos i guess different players have different rules on how much of your bankroll to use. i am confident in sit and go's and don't normally care about the bankroll.

    what games do you usually play?

    a bad idea, play 5.50 dym's if you are winning more than not but once you lose 2 in a row it would prob be wise to step back down to 3.30 or even 2.25 until you win a few more, stepping up too early will most likely end in trouble, just stick where you are now it is building ur bankroll nicely

    10% is a bit steep but if you regularly win more than you lose then it is ok imo, i often play with 10% of my BR in dyms and if i lose a couple i just drop down a level or 2.

    I think 5% is the recommended amount to stake in dyms but my BRM has never been the greatest!

    ahhh DYMs - sorry i thought we were talking standard SNGs. DYMs should have a lower % of your bankroll (I belive?) - that said, sack it - play with how you feel comfortable.....dont chase losses though......big mistake.

    I pretty much always play cash and therefore have quite a bad playing mentality to any kind of SNG or MTT.....although i have the odd dabble
