heads up bankroll

I'll never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of my total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: I'm allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less).
I won't buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll and I'm allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1.
If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of my total bankroll, I must leave the game when the blinds reach me.

I only play 2 table, heads up, winner-take-all sit n go's. Following chris fergusons general bankroll management rules (above). should i be buying in for only 5% of my bankroll? or can i stretch for 10% because of the decreased variation for heads up?

lol varience isnt decreased heads up its amplifyed! so id say at least 100buy ins.
full ring sit and goes are bad enough for varience.

amplified? luck sways a game of heads up much less often than a full ring game. you have nearly no chance to clear out a table of 9 if you aren't getting any cards. in heads up it's much easier to win chips during a bad run of cards

HU I think 1/20th is OK for a winning player who can redeposit.
I mean if you are breakeven you lose 10 in a row once every 1024 times or something.
Then you just move down a level.

heads up is a good game to play

I just got into heads-up a couple months ago. I don't do it to make money, but I do it because I love making fools cry.
