  1. Most MTTers have learned to have "xx" amount of buy-ins per tournament buy-in. It's generally understood to play $50 Freezeouts (assume no rake for this example) effectively, you should have 100 buy-ins to be adequately rolled and probably 200 buy-ins to be on the safer side. That would equal a roll of $5k-$10k depending on your risk tolerance and roi among other things.

    But what if you play 15-20 tourneys a day ranging in buy-ins from $3 rebuys, $5 rebuys, $10 rebuys, $22 FOs, $26 FOs, $24 Turbo Sattys, $48 Super Turbo Sattys and maybe a shot at a $162 big nightly tournament. Now what? Generally at the end of the day, you'll be spending a certain amount of money, we'll call this avg. daily buy-in. I understand that certain days, namely Sundays and for the High Stakes regs, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays this number will vary greatly.

    Back to my original example, let's say that my daily buy-in for that day is $800. Looking at this number $10k is not nearly enough as the RoR is too high especially in the variance filled world of MTTs. I believe looking at your avg. daily buy-in and having at least 20 buy-ins(similiar to general cash game bank roll management) but probably at least 50 avg. daily buy-ins to be effective. 100x would be ideal but probably unrealistic for most of us.

    P.S I wrote this when I was tired and probably couldn't explain my thoughts as well but what do you guys think?
