FTR Classic Rethread, Week 3
There is great bankroll management advice all over FTR, but here is one of the best Rant's you'll read:
Spoonitnow's BR Management Rant. There is great advice all the way through the thread. This was just a couple weeks after the point where I personally realized a solid theory of bankroll management existed, and that perhaps I should follow it.
Questions I'd be interested in your responses to:
1. What are your bankroll requirements for your current level, and what amount are you working toward for your next step up?
2. Do you have a stop-loss when you move up? If so, give us the move-up amount and stop-loss in BI's, please.
3. Robb says nitty bankroll requirements are better for long term earnings. IOPQ says reasonable (but not nitty) bankroll requirements speed up your earning by promoting you to higher level faster. With whom do you agree, and why?
4. Spoony's suggested bankroll requirements for the micros (and a learning plan for poker) is quoted below. Discuss its pros and cons. What's good about a player who follows this? How long will it take?

When you have $100, play 5nl. (20 buy-ins)
When you have $250, play 10nl. (25 buy-ins)
When you have $750, play 25nl. (30 buy-ins)
When you have $1750, play 50nl. (35 buy-ins)
When you have $4000, play 100nl. (40 buy-ins)
When you have $10000, play 200nl. (50 buy-ins)
If you follow this and regularly play and work on your game, you'll be making a lot of money in less than two years imo.
Most folks know my views on bankroll management, so I'll let everyone else chime in. I'm resurrecting this because I've seen some rather awkward advice on moving up doled to people lately (not necessarily on FTR). Lots of great stuff has been written about it, and discussed here, so I was hoping noobies especially would read and post questions, comments, etc.
