Grinding out large donkaments.

[EduardSB]

Hi guys,

I'm going to grind out some large donkaments. I'm talking of an average buyin of aprox. 22$. What kind of bankroll should I manage if I'm a very good tournament player?

Thanks,

Eduard

$22,000

100 buyins is probably fine, kinda depends how hard your grinding

this, unless you want to move up and down in limits a lot.

22.000$ but if you are very good at tournaments you should know by now to stop playing them.....

If you consider yourself "very good" at MTTs then I'd say around 500x abi is sufficient to start moving into a certain buyin range. If you want to be there a while then 1000x is probably good so you can sustain a larger downswing before you need to move back down.

edit: Or if you are short on money you could always just get backed

If you are a really good player I think $350 is okay. Since you're probably not as people always think they're better than they actually are, I'd go closer to $3500. Since you don't understand BRM yet it's likely you are just bad and therefore would need closer to $35,000. Kind of depends.

Only you would know the answer to this.

Why is everyone so obnoxious? He had a simple question, and many ITT acting like he's a moron for "not knowing simple BRM." As if anyone really "knows."

But since some people seem to think it's 1,000 buyins--really? I thought 500 ABIs was considered a decent MTT BR, but I am probably a moron too.

Ya, $22,000 seems ridiculous for $22s

[Cyluscylus]

He did specify they were going to be large field tournaments though so he would need a bigger bankroll than usual.

If you need more than 100 buyins you shouldn't be playing for a living

Pretty easy to have 500abi downswings these days, especially playing lows-highs. 500 abi is obv fine if you dont mind changing limits a bit.
