    <p>Nice article Graps. I wish I could take a shot once in awhile but in this economy for a working man on a tight budget its hard. I would hate to stay Micro for life.</p>

    <p>Good article, but I've always wondered with those types of tables, are the buy-ins = to full buy-ins, or should they be equal to the buy-in you usually do at a given level? Ex 2/4 PLO if you buy-in 240$ loads as oppose to 400$ loads.</p>

    <p>Question: When talking about buy-ins are you refering to playing one table?  If so, when playing multiple tables should i multiply the amount of tables vs. 40 - 50 buy-ins?</p>

    <p>I think ur talking about me!. I have run $300 up to about $4,000 on Full Tilt, and am still playing mostly $5-10 MTT's & SNG's. My OPR for last yr was over 98%. Sounds like I should be taking some bigger shots, huh? The money is 'fun' money for me.</p>

    <p>Question: When talking about buy-ins are you refering to playing one table?  If so, when playing multiple SnG or NL tables should i multiply the amount of tables vs. 40 - 50 buy-ins, 30 - 45 buy-ins?</p>

    <p>Nice article, Graps... I am definitely a bankroll nit, though not nearly as bad as your friend.  Well played.</p>

    <p>MJIY, I consider a buy-in for NL/PL cash games to be the traditional table max (100 BBs).  I suppose if you're short-stacking, and reducing the variance that way, you could use a smaller number.</p>
    <p>JonJack, unless you have a severe drop-off in your ROI multi-tabling, I would use the same BR requirements for each table.  If I've got $600, I'm still multi-tabling $10 SNGs.  Bump the buy-in range up a little bit to counteract the fact that you're sacrificing a little bit of ROI.  But I wouldn't do anything as drastic as cutting my buy-in level in half.</p>
    <p>Thanks for reading, everyone....</p>

    <p>I think it's also about playing where you have an edge despite your bankroll. I'm playing $33 SNGs at the moment and am rolled to be playing a lot higher than that. I'm not confident that I have beaten the $33s yet, so I stay there.</p>
