Currently I have about $ 1900 set aside for a $ 1/2 roll, so just shy of 10 buyins. How high is my risk of losing it all ? It would not change my life if I lost this money, I just wanted to know what my chances of being successful were.

There's lots of great advice on here and I wanted to say thanks for all the great knowledge you guys share on here.

This is a hard question to answer without any winrate/sample size.

Generally speaking I would say that the chance of going bust could possibly be as large as 50% or more.

With a stable full-time job I wouldnt worry about it much. learn as you go and reload if you need to.

I was thinking about playing a few events at the Legends of Poker tournament series coming up & I was wondering if it would be bad to invest this much in tourneys with my current bankroll.

I play for a living & have been averaging 4k+ per month

Bankroll is $24,000

Tournament buy ins would be $2,500 & I planned on selling 30%.

Should I be playing less of them? Selling more? Not playing them at all & building my roll?

Sell more.

Sell 60%+.
Investing 10% of your bankroll on any one small set of tournaments is suicide for your bankroll in the long run. It make work out this time, but it's just not very prudent.

Also, do you have any experience playing tournaments live?
This should be a pre req for playing these likely.

The drive & time invested makes me feel like having 40% or less of myself wouldn't be worth it.

I have limited experience in the live LA tournaments but from what I've seen and been told by friends that have exp is that they are super soft.

Anyone beating a $5 blind game should be able to do well in them.

Btw I should of mentioned that the $2,500 includes 3 shots each @ 3 separate multi day tournaments so there is a chance the overall cost will be less. If you advance to day 2 you receive 2x the buy in.

^ At 1/3 you can make $30/hour in a lot of cities. So if you're not breaking that at 2/5, I'd just play 1/3.

I think Farha makes $40, I could be wrong though. Ever since PureAggression made that YouTube video of him and it sounds like his mouth is filled with a mix of peanut butter and maple syrup, I stopped reading his PGC thread.

lol i said "fitty" which means 50 which means $50 US Dollars with Ulysses S. Grant on it aka the 18th President of the United States aka the leader of the Union Army in the Civil War

What more you want, my man? If you make $50/hr in a poker room that is not located in Las Vegas, you are doing really really well. It is a solid win-rate.

edit: I should rephrase that to say $50 is a great win-rate and like $40 is probably "solid"

Same thing happened to me. Every time I read your thread now, I can't understand the words I'm reading.

My pronouns were messy. I meant Farha sounds like that, I stopped reading his. And he never answers any questions I post in his thread. I still read yours.

I said tree fitty aka $350 which is a solid session winrate if you play a normal 7 to 8 hr session.

Likely better than whatever you're making if you can't take the time to read some pages of a thread devoted just to win rates.

Where 7,500+ posts have been posted, and this question has likely been answered 20+ times. But you are too lazy too look for it, so you will ask it again.

You might dismiss me a trolling, but really, you get out what you put in.

Depends on several factors:

Where?
What time of day?
Are you a sicko? Are you able to outdo / outplay the good players? (Aka shark amongst the sharks)
Do you tilt ?

Such a broad question that can't be answered without details. For example making 50$/hr ytd in Vegas is a beast, making 50$/hr in LA is much easier
