Building a bankroll on Vegas 247 (Absolute skin)

August 12, 2007 on 8:56 am | In General |

I’ve just logged onto one of my accounts that I’ve not used for a while and found that I have $27 in my account. I’ve been looking at writing some content for my website of bankroll management so this is the perfect opportunity to practice before I load the articles up. With just $27 in my bankroll my opportunities are quite limited. Chris Ferguson wrote in his Tips From The Pros on Full Tilt that for SNG’s he wouldn’t risk more that 1/20th of his bankroll so using that I should be playing at the $1+$0.20 level on this site. Alternatively other pros such as Bryan Micon recommend 1/100th of the bankroll which would be $0.27 which does give problems with regards to playing that small. What I am going to do then is to play at the $1.00 game but if my stack goes below $20 then I will go down to the $0.50 SNG game. I am prepared to have a go at playing the $2 game when I get above $40 but should I not make the money and fall back below that line then I will got back a level to the $1 SNG game.

My first four results show a win, 2 second places and an 8th (eek!). This is a net p/l of $5.10 which now moves my balance to $32.40.
