50
Good morning everyone.
I play sit gos, I play zoom cash game and I play $ 1.10, $ 2.20 and $ 3.30 mtts.
I believe that 50 buyins is enough to increase my bankroll.
I'm watching some nl $ 500 cash game zoom players to learn, and one player said something that makes a lot of sense, he said that if you want to be an excellent player, you have to choose a style of play and study and practice just that game, he said that when he started playing poker he played everything and then decided to just play cash games.
And the problem is that I really enjoy playing these 3 types of poker.
It is not part of the question, but the weight of the nl $ 500 players is impressive, he explains the play and wins with hands that I do not play, at nl $ 2.
I think I learned to play poker, but I am a long way from that level.
The Brazilian player that I see playing at nl $ 500, uses the nick zinhão, very technical.

you usually have to use which tournament you want to play for a period before you buy. in my case i'm playing 1.50 18p and i'm putting together some money to make a buy of 150 to play 100 tournaments and make a profit of less than 40 or more tournaments and thus raise my limit.
The 100 buy in rule is a very old rule, I remember hearing about it 15 years ago or so. Maybe this was a good rule for smaller tourney fields like the WPT with Gus Hansen 🙂
Nowaday with the huge fields on Stars I see buy-in rules / opinions of even 500-1000.
But you have to be a winning player, because you lose it anyway if youre not and then you don't really need a rule.
And you also dont need a mtt bankroll rule, if you have a lot of other income - thats called cash flow 🙂

Players don't win because they re-enter. They have essentially lost one tournament and started another (with a shallower stack at that). The reason most people do this is to put in a larger volume of games played. These players are the grinders, so it is normal to often see them at the top of the list 🙂
Thanks😉scaleyback said:It really depends on the size of the player pool and your ROI. The more players the higher the variance. If you are playing on stars I would say 200 buyins minimum for MTTs but if you are playing elsewhere 100 should be enough providing you have a solid ROI.
Here is a simulation of 2000 games played with ABI of $1.10 with an ROI of 15%
You will notice you have a 30% chance of running at a loss even with a positive ROI.
If we use a similar structure for a 300 player field we have a greatly reduced probablility of running a loss of 10%
Just something to think about 🙂
you can use the variance simulator here https://www.primedope.com/tournament-variance-calculator/
To me it's a minimum of 200 buy-ins at low stakes , 300 at medium stakes , and 400 at high.
This should give you confident state of mind , less tilt , and better results in the long run.
But in the end everyone has his own strategies .

How you approach the game makes a difference. Do you go the high variance route or low? If you are aiming for min cash first than moving up, your variance might be much smaller than someone attacking before the bubble.
A lower variance means you need less buy ins, but also cap your upside to a lower amount.
