I know quite a few of you around here, and I have been playing a lot of MTTs as of late and I am quite sick of sngs and cash games, but nevertheless, the MTT variance is starting to catch up to me. I have been trying to keep a steady 5K bankroll on stars, which is basically the only site I play on. I was curious as to what your opinions were on the best way to pad a roll around 5K with which kind of sngs or cash games. I am experienced in sngs 55 and below. I also have played all cash games that stars spreads besides stud High. I just don't want to be worried about going busto ever again and want to always do it the right way from now on. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I am looking forward to your replies. Thanks. -Stewart Yancik

Selling drugs, prostituting yourself or any of your offspring, making
counterfeit money, robbing banks, or actually robbing people seem like
5 good options to start with.

I think it was Chris Furgusen (sp?) who said he likes to have 100 buy ins for an MTT roll.
Sooooo if you're playing $100 tourneys you would need $10,000
This is assuming all freezeouts
I would wager that you play in the $100 freezeouts/and rebuys, which is a good way to go busto with your roll.
You shouldn't be playing any tourney over $50 on a regualar basis until you have at least 10k....

bankroll management is for pussies and/or players that aren't good enough to be above variance's long claw.

I usually play turbo sngs, but would play the regular ones, for I think it suits my play better anyways. What level turbos would you compare the play with the regular 50 sngs? thanks.

Stu, in the past year, I have become much more disciplined in this respect as well. In my early days of online poker, I was constantly playing too high (and I wasn't as good back then on top of it). I think that several considerations go into the proper buy-in to play in MTTs. The amount you would need will vary depending on the field size and prize structure. (20% you wouldn't need as much bc you'll recover your buy-in more often). You need more to play $20 tourneys with 1,000 people than one with 180. With 5k, given the average field size at Stars, I would be playing something around $20 tourneys, 5 and 10 rebuys, with the occasional $50+.
I'll play $3-10 even. I play quite a few of them. You never risk much, and occasionally you will pull a big payday. The 180 man SNGs are cake too. Take advantage of the easy money instead of struggling at higher levels (if that is the case). I don't mind jumping in the Sunday Million occasionally either, especially with a satellite win. Very few players have the "proper bankroll" for that tourney. However, that's a shot at some serious cash. I'd take those shots occasionally (and do). I think (and many other have said) that the difference between alot of winning and losing players is discipline. GL with it.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that you should play the same things that i do. I usually keep about half of what you do online, and that's what works well for me. Just replying for the general point of not over-extending yourself. People always make comments like "why are you playing a $3 tourney Willie?" I just think that with these very large field tourneys, you're well advised to play tourneys where you can afford quite a few buy-ins.

I am wanting to know what cash games and sngs to play to handle the variance for MTTs...not what MMTs to play. Thanks.

Well, that all depends on what cash games and SNGs you're successful at. With a bankroll of $5k, I'd say you're OK to be playing 5/10 limit (not quite 10/20), 1/2 NL and $100+9 SNGs. That assumes you can be profitable at those levels.
I'm in the same boat you are, where I'm using SNG profit to pay for shots in MTTs. I would also strongly consider playing as many satellites as you can and building up T$ for other events as well.
