I think your main mistake was risking your money in that absolutly stupid sup turbo sngs!

In my opinion these "all in or fold sngs" are totaly absurd!

^ Very true what the above poster said.

As to the original question, I'd say 20x-25x max buy in. That should be very safe and will withstand variance. Of course, one can donk it all away if one doesn't play well. But regardless, that should do it. To keep things simple, if you were to play NL100, you should have a bankroll of somewhere between $2000-$2500. That will keep you safe. It could be less and you probably won't go broke, at least not too quickly so you have time to drop down a level or two, but that will definetely be ebough.

Stupid super turbos??? check my WPTfuji account. I mainly play those and ALOT of them. usually 8-12 tables at a time. I see a profit of around 2K a month doing just the $3.50s Stats dont lie. Im like 6% return of investment for something like 27,000 sngs!!! Cant argue with getting money and really quick FTPs and earning Ironman like its nothing.

could you share what your tactics are in these tournies? i've never tried them but wouldn't mind giving them a go sometime. how do the other players generally play and how do you combat that? thanks for any help.
