    My current BR is $4500 dollars. Right now I play midlevel buyins on UB nor higher then $27.50. I wanna stay on UB, and go to pokerstars also. Will that be enough 2k on Stars $2500 on UB for buyins now more then $27.50? Can I pull it off?

    Yeah plenty if you arent extending beyond 27.50. If you are interested in moving up in stakes id reccommend keeping your BR at one place.

    I think you can do it ducks.. but be prepared for the adjustment and increased variance of going from 300 person mtts to 1k+

    precedent brings up a good point. i recently made the change from bodog to stars and this was the biggest adjustment i had to make. most of the bodog mtt's i play have between 250 and 500 entries while the stars mtt's i've been playing have 1200-1500. huge difference. quite a letdown to mow through 99% of the field and make little to no money

    yea its both good points, but stars also has the biggest donks to. kinda compensates a little. u can finish a UB 200+ tourney in about 4 to 5 hours its like the same thing in stars mid level buy ins cause everyone sucks so bad. just gotta tiptoe a little more.

    why does it make a difference that you're moving part of your roll to stars if youre gonna play the same level buyins?

    moving 50% from UB to stars is not cutting your roll in half. DUCY? If you transfer money from your savings to your checking did you lose money there also?

    From personal experience I would not play SNGs on stars. I have a great ROI on ap (38%) but I cannot and have never been able to maintain a +ROI on stars or FTP. I think the combination of unfamiliar structure and better players is lethal. I play SNGs for a living and check my Sharkscope for those 2 sites, it's horrendous!

    you clearly don't understand.

    Think of it like this. Say you have the same 4500$ bankroll but its in cash in your pocket because you play live poker. You're normally a 5-10 limit holdem player with a 450bb bankroll.

    You go to the casino and take a seat and realize that you left 2000$ at home and only brought 2500 with you. Are you saying that in this situation you would no longer be properly rolled for this game. (assuming that 450bbs was a 'proper' roll for this game)

    ok yes i do understand what u r saying. only thing im saying is im am treating it like 2 different roles on 2 differetn sites. this is my perspective im talking about. so the question is to u if i have a 2k bankroll is that enough to play $27.50 games no higher?

    well I guess I would want 100 BI. it just doesn't make sense to treat them seperately. But, I guess based on your plan, try to play no higher than $20s on stars until you get up another 500-750 or so.

    just keep n mind that you have 163 BIs at the 27.50 level in total. Which should be fine
