Hi Ian,

I never buy into a SNG or MTT for more than 5% of my bankroll.

Cash is also 5% but that must represent 100 'Big Blinds'.

Im not sure about that, im sure their are some things people have said throughout history that are more sensible - anyone want to try and tell us one. If we dont get a more sensible statement within the next 100 years i will agree with you lol

Hmmm, I don't think you'll actually find anything more sensible. Good luck with your search ;-)

P.S.  If there is no way whatsoever you can reload your account, then 5% for mtt`s is too much imo.

1-2% MTT`s
3% STT`s
4-5% Cash   for me,  but each to their own

These discussions are often theoretical (I've started a similar thread in the past).
No-one, but no-one, gets 3 grand together then decides to learn how to play MTTs and plays £30 entry tournaments only, based on theoretical bankroll requirements. It just doesn't happen.

The best advice is the obvious: always deposit with a debit card; NEVER borrow money to play, whether that be via credit card, overdraft or other means, and consider playing poker as recreation - instead of spending £30 down the pub, spend £10 at the off-licence and £20 at the poker tables. Just look on it as a night out and if it pays for itself, then great.

Bankroll's  are for professional gamblers   if that's what  you are     then fine follow the advice here !!

However if your playing poker as a social recreation then forget having a  Bankroll..

Only play what you can afford  in any given week and enjoy the game for what it is  ...  

 A GAME OF CARDS !!
