Question about bank roll building

[Elanor]

Hi guys, i've reached 100$ from zero by playing free roll and some low buy in sng... now i've decided to begin to use my bank roll with some judgment... I've some little questions...
- 100$ is enought for the 2,02$ buy-in sng? I've some experience but i'm not a poker genius
- how many tables should i play a the same time? Now i play 2 tables... should i begin playing more?
- how many buy-in should i 've to level up?
- wath about "ROI"? - i'm not sure about what roi means... lol

Ty for the patience and sorry for my mistakes...lol.

$100 should be enough for the $2 games as it will give roughly 45 buy ins, personally I like to have about 50 buy ins, but you are close.

You should play as many tables as you are comfortable playing. If you are playing to make money as well as enjoyment then play the amount of tables that mean you are making as much money as you can while still enjoying it. There is no point playing multiple tables if you never cash.
Like I said I personally like to have 50buy ins so I wouldn't move up until I had at least that much, but I only move up a level when I am confident that I can play and win at that level. I could have all the money in the world and play at the $200/$100 levels but what would be the point if I lose every time I sit at the table. I'd much rather sit at the $50/$25 tables and win on more occaisions.
ROI mean return on investment, basically it is the % of your investment that you win.

Hope that helps!

Thank you, nice piece of advices.
Which roi should i've to consider my self a good player for that level? On how much tournaments?
That's very kind of you.

It all depends on the how you play, i.e. do you multitable etc etc. But over the long term an ROI of 15-20% is awesome.

If you are playing everyday then you could be aiming for 20%.

Your figure will also be affected by any one big cash, my mansion.com ROI at one point was about 290% due a couple of big cashes.

I would say though don't trust sharkscope 100% though, because i looked up my stats for partypoker and thy are completely wrong lol.

Most of my accurate ROIs atm are approximatly 10%, also the more games you play the more accurate the percentage, I wouldnt worry too much about it until you have played 100+ games to give you a fair perspective!

With a total bankroll of $100, I wouldn't worry too much about how many buyins I have. The reason is that small bankrolls aren't difficult to replace, which means the need to protect against losing most or all of it due to a run of negative variance is lower.

And buyin level is just a guideline. Just as important, maybe more, is the level of the competition. For instance, if you have the game to win consistently somewhere above $2.20, then staying at $2.20 because of a guideline means you're winning lewss than you could be.

I Think $100 Is Good, I'll Play With It Like I Do Live, Go Hard Or Go Broke.

But With Lower Limits PPL Are More Willing To Pay To See The Cards, I Would Suggest Avoiding That.

My br is about the same as yours, I was at 100 once, then was an idiot and played 23 dollars HU games, and went down to 17, I regrouped and now im back at 100 juss off small tourneys and Freerolls
