    Yea go for it 30 buyins isnt a lot for 110 mtts but there isnt that many runners in it and you can win half your buyin back for 1 bounty so the varience is quite low in comparison to other 110 tourneys across other sites.  Which sites are you grinding on now?

    Also yea if you have funds on other sites surely you can just transfer money from there onto sky if you need to reload.

    I had a similar situation not long ago. Dohhh was having a go at me saying wtf are you doing playing like 2euro rebuys (somewhere else) with the size of your BR on Sky, but that was cos I only had like 50euro on that site.

    I'd personally avoid a super small BR in 1 of the sites just cos I'm lazy and wouldn't want to be transferring moniez about the place all the time. But yeah just play according to your total BR across all sites imo

    If you're just punting then w/e do what you like.

    If pretty serious open a spreadsheet/whatever and make a list of all the tourneys you'd like to play and work out a schedule. Then you can see how much your schedule costs each time and decide if you have the appropriate bankroll.

    BRM doesn't/shouldn't have to be site specific
    Just as long as you are happy to move it from where you have it to where you need it
    In fact for you this is essential - you still want to/should be playing the mtts you like on sky, and shouldn't let the fact your BRM is elsewhere stop you doing so

    And of course your "bankroll" doesn't just mean the total money you have currently in poker accounts, it should also include money in your bank account that is there for poker purposes if you need it.

    If you're playing £110 tourneys, I wouldn't want to keep more than say £1100 in a poker account, I'd withdraw it and place it in a bank account that would at least be playing a minimal amount of interest

    I would treat it as one big bankroll and have upper and lower levels on each site so when you get to those levels you withdraw/deposit as required. Also, within reason you need to look at average buy in rather than individual buy ins. There is only one 110bh each week (excluding this timed cash game and the monthly roller) so its not like you are playing a couple a night.
    Given the field sizes you need to be more careful about buy in levels on the larger sites as variance on these can be more brutal than sky. Finally I would have a combined BR level where once you go below this you drop the larger tournaments.

    Just my thoughts, good luck at the tables Rock

    BR is one whole, the size of it should dictate what percentage you play with per buy in.
    Some choose 1% while other may opt for 7% - depends on how aggressive you are with your BR

    I would advise opening a savings account or similar just for poker.
    Deposit and withdraw as required on the sites your playing staying within the percentage your playing.


    So for example if your playing cash your total BR may be 150 bins, but you only deposit 20 buy ins and withdraw/deposit per month where required. Keep a playable limit on the site.

    If you playing MTT/STT then work out you monthly schedule and deposit that for the month on each site and amount and deposit and withdraw as required.

    Not too difficult to keep track on a spreadsheet of your in/outs per site when you keep the ins constant.
