    Default BANKROLL

    For those that don't mind....... What is your current bankroll (one site) and what did you start with? I am just curious really about the relation to the initial deposit and overall effect it has on the ability to win.

    Edit: Let me clarify, what I am looking for the difference in is where two players end up. Player A - Deposit of $100.00 Player B - Deposit of $1500.00.

    I personally started at PokerStars (most recently, there have been previous deposits at the same and other site) with $100.00 and after a months time I am at $1,200.00. Crazy right? I started by playing in relation to my bankroll (i.e. $5 Sit'n'gos, $.50/$1.00, until my winnings were enough to help me climb the chain. I first advanced to $10 (turbo) sit'n'go and 1/2 hold em. I am not playing 3/6 and sometimes 5/10. I did have one good performance in a $50NLHE multi table tourney, placing 18th, which got me a cool $450.00.
    Note: I did play a couple multi tables/sit n gos and did not make the money, but im sure everyone has dealt with the same.

    I think I understand what you want to know.

    If you are going to deposit money onto a site have at least 100 big bets for the highest stakes you intend to play for limit games. For instance if you intend to play up to $1/$2 you should have a minimum of $200, if this amount falls to $100 you should drop down to $.50/$1.

    For no limit I suggest 8+ buy ins. so if you play the $25 tables you should have $200

    if you deposit a small amount in relation to the stakes you play you will have to avoid bad luck right out of the chute, depositing extra money will alleviate this.

    Do a search on "skinny and Bankroll" Youll come up with a good thread that steveo put together for us.
