BRM question

RLT16

basically i normallly oplay 1.15 dyms with a 20 BI bank roll

ive manager to get my Br so its now got 20 Bi at 2.25 level but my question is how many shots would u have at that before moving back down to the 1.15 level?   or is it as simple as going back down when i only have the money fort 20 BI's at 1.15 level again?

SO you would have around £45 in your account. I would say then if you are working to a 20 BI rule you could easily play 2.25s till you BR goes to around 25 - 30 so you play 5 to 10 games.

I work to a 50 BI rule playing 2 - 3 tables. Depends how many you are playing.

To be honest no real difference between 1.15 to 3.30 level GL and any questions I am happy to answer if I can.

When I played DYMs many years ago, as soon as my bankroll got to 20BI for the next buy-in level, I would take a shot at that buy-in level and drop down immediately after my bankroll was less than 20BI for that level.  Using this method, I started at the old 30p level and worked up to the £5.50 within three months of playing probably around 20 DYMs per day for five days a week.  Hope this helps.

Depends if you are happy to reload or not.. if you really dont want to go broke id wait til you have at least 40-50 buy ins for the higher level before giving it a shot, if going broke isnt a big deal at all then i would say when you have 25 buys ins for the level above then move up, but then if you drop below 20 buy ins at the level move back down.

Thanks for the input everyone, seems lke theres plenty of options really and i just need to find whats work best for me, reloading isnt really a problem but id prefer not to have to either so probably gridning up to a higher level of BI's before taking shots will work best for me, and dropping back down early if things go wrong, think i'll try that.

thanks again guys!

Don't mean to hijack the thread but would you apply a different rule to 6max?

Obviously the variance is potentially larger - although I am doing ok at low stakes ROI wise and find them much more profitable than dyms. My best bet to improve profits would be to multi-table, although I generally do not get enough volume. Saw you regged for a £44 6max so I hope you have some lessons to pass on!

In terms of 6 max i think you should probably have a slighly higher buy in rule, as the chances of cashing are lower, i havent played thousands of 6max games so i cant really give any statistics, but if i was playing to build a roll i would want around 75 buy ins to be safe, although if you feel you have a big enough edge at lower stakes im sure 50+ would be fine..  and again if you are multi-tabling say 4 at once i would definitely want a minimum 75 BI's maybe even 100+

Im mainly an MTT player, but when i play sit n gos, i stick to the 6 max standard instead of DYM's as i believe my skill set is more transferable to that, plus i find it far more enjoyable playing for a win than i do playing for a cash.

Thanks @Jordz and PLUS 1 on that last paragraph.

"i stick to the 6 max standard instead of DYM's as i believe my skill set is more transferable to that, plus i find it far more enjoyable playing for a win than i do playing for a cash."

I have been mixing dym and 6max although I prefer 6max and intend to concentrate on that for cash building.

On average buy-in (£2) I have about 40BIs in my roll which I think is about right although I do dabble at £3 and played a £5 last night. I started out playing mainly £1 with a £40 roll. If I can avoid cash and all-in sats I am sure I'll build the roll to move up. The aim is to have an extended run at £5 and then £10 and see if that can earn some pocket money to save for a holiday and the odd MTT main event.
