A few weeks ago I deposited $10 in my account and in one day made it up to $450. Now it's gone right down to $100 and I really don't want to go bust. I've tried playing the $5 stts but they're so full of trout that it annoys me and I usually end up bubbling because of a bad beat. (I used to play $10 and they suited me fine) I'm no good at cash I'm practising MTT play but not getting many cashes. What now?  |

Tried that once... and won! Don't think that's the answer though! I think the answer would be to give up completely  |

You must have done my trick of increasing the stakes beyond your bankroll whenever increasing it till the inevitable bad run cripples it.
I like the $20 mark, fewer loons but not pros either. Bluffs even work at this level sometimes lol.
It seems obvious to go to $10 STT where you are comfortable, you have enough for 9 games, more than enough to start rebuilding.

yeah I agree. if you're comfortable playing the 10'er STT's then you should play those. 100$ is fine for that. |

Why would you want fewer loons?
I would have thought they were your bread and butter.

Too many loons in a STT mean sitting and hoping you get good cards, then hoping they hold up.
Is profitable long term but is nearly as boring as cash games.
I am a recreational player who enjoys the bonus of not having to pay for my hobby. But I look for games I enjoy, and a level where there is 2 or 3 loons and the remainder tightish is always my favourite mix for a STT. It means I can mix up my game accordingly against different styles.
The loons make the solid players play too tight as well creating a perfect set-up for people who don't play a set game.
I imagine notes on me on sites range from "calling station loon" to "tight as a gnats arsehole".
This is because I never sit down planning to play a specific way, so it depends where and when you played me.
But if I had the choice of a table full of loons or a table full of rocks, I'll take the rocks any day. Then I can be the loon which is great fun lol.

yeah you are of course right.. but it's better to use the 100$ to play a game at a level you are comfortable with then play a lot of games you are not comfortable with IMO. |

1 buy-in may be enough, depending on your goals. |

I'm in a similar boat at the minute in that I've got $100 and going to stick to $10 six seaters for a bit and see how I get on. That's fine for me, because I don't mind if I 'go bust'. You've said above that you don't want to go bust, so for that reason $10 games are probably too risky. You've been having a good run on MTTs lately - why not play a few $2-$6 MTTs and see how you get on?
Good luck!

While we appreciate bankroll management theory, I've never seen the point of applying it to a £50 bankroll.
It's not the end of the world to rebuy £50 into your account if the worst happens.
Though personally I have never done a bankroll in on STT's, I find 10 buyins enough at these levels.
