My local card room has 1-2-2 which I currently play (max $200 buyin). It is must raise pre (mandatory open for $4) so it plays bigger than 1-2 in Vegas, for example.

I am a winner online, I've played as high as 200NL on FTP before Black Friday. I've played as high as 100NL heads-up and $55 HU SNGs. I'm absolutely crushing the live game just nitting it up. Everyone knows I'm tight but they still pay me off anyway. They have zero idea how to adjust their ranges.

I believe that having a higher winrate decreases the bankroll requirements from a statistical point of view (and I can always move down to 1-2-2 if I lose a certain amount).

My question is what are the bankroll requirements for $2-$3-$5 (button is $2) and mandatory minraise? It's $500 max and I'd be buying in for that (and topping up frequently).

IMHO, if you are a winning player (and comfortable moving down when on a losing streak) 20 x BI's is enough.

Here is a link to the containment thread for all LLSNL bankroll management discussion.

Thanks, then I'll be looking to move up to 2/3/5 soon. I'm just worried because I hear that game has a lot more action so it might have more bluffing/marginal spots and higher variance (in addition to more blinds/raises because of the rules).

I might give 1/2/3 a shot at another casino first. If anything, it's a smoother jump psychologically.

EDIT: My bad, I couldn't find that thread immediately, so I started a new one.

I always thought of these structures as -eV in the long run.
Yes it increases action per se, but due to the amount of "pot commitment" fro the fish pre, you're going post flop with too many players.

Locked.
