What bankroll to start with

[MrBB33]

To add on to that last post...I just got home from work and it's really late so I'm not going to elaborate right now. If I see this or remember about this post when I wake up I'll respond with a novel and some "good" advice for you. Hopefully you see this before I wake up and can give me a better indication of what kind of poker player you intend to be, I prefer to type the novel where it will be most useful.

Good luck on the felt

I prefer MTT, but will play cash also.

I prefer MTT, but will play cash also.

In my honest opinion, and don't take this the wrong way, you won't be able to win in MTT's and Cash games at the same time in the beginning. If I were you I'd play a minimum of 10k hands in cash games until you feel you can win them. Play at the micro level and 2-4 table if you can. ONLY multitable if you're comfortable with making quicker decisions. The use of a HUD is vital to multitabling.

As far as MTT's are concerned, I again will agree with Sharking that you shouldn't invest more then 1% of your roll into a game. This is especially true if you plan to play ring games also.

To give you a little background on me and how I play, I prefer cash. I'm a big PLO player on merge but that doesn't mean I don't also play the occasional MTT. I play the MTT's for fun, a small portion of my roll, and anticipate not running deep. I'm not a seasoned veteran in MTT's. I have a sold skill set but not what it takes to be a winning MTT player in the long run. It takes dedication to be able to win in the long term. I would advise you to see what you'll enjoy more and devote time to it and learn the game to your best ability. Don't rush into investing your roll on two aspects of the game without educating yourself first. MTT and cash games need to be approached differently in order to win.

I'll stick with MTT once I get my BR up to around $100.
Thanks for the advise!
