hi all

there is an article or two about bankroll management in the poker articles section

but generally I would say a minimum of 20x the buy-in for SnG's and cash games and more (at least 40x buy-ins) for MTT's

some pro players would say you should have 40x for SNG's & cash games with more again for MTT's

so if your playing $5 SNG's you need a bankroll of $100 (or $200 if you want 40x) then to move up to $10 SnG's you'd need to build to $200 before moving up

for cash games with $10 max buy-in (5/10 cent games) you need a bankroll of $200

for MTT's with a $5 buy-in as the swings are much bigger and your in the monye finishes fewer and farther between I would suggest min of 40x buy-in - so to play $5 tournaments you need a bankroll of $400 IMHO

you can adjust the amounts for smaller or bigger buy-ins but 20x should be your minimum rule
