Bankroll for rebuys.

What is a optimal bankroll for R & A tourneys

[Andy Holt]

This really depends on comfort, but I like to keep the number of buyins relative to the level I'm playing. I'd play a $5 R/A on a $550 bankroll, leaving 100 buyins, because I know I can cash more frequently because the field is softer.

But I'd want at least $10K for a $50 R/A. And maybe even $25K or $30K for a $100 R/A.

[JCooper]

Shouldn't we look at it as though a R&A costs about 5x the buy-in?

So a $5 R&A is a $25 tournament.

[davemac2005]

the R&A's are usually very very fishy
If you choose to do a R&A determine how many addons and rebuys you will do at the Max if needed
5x the buyin seems to be excessive if you play tighter and take advantage of the fishes that are just lookin to build a huge stack early

[JCooper]

At Stars I'll always be paying 3x the buy-in at a minimum because you add-on immediately and then again at the end. If you get knocked out one time in the first hour then you re-buy & add-on and thats 5x.

I'm looking to build a stack early and that means I'm willing to take coin-flips and there will be plenty offered.

Yah, 5x is in no way excessive, unless you plan to leave the tourney when your AK doesnt win all in preflop. (and if you are folding AK, or even AQ for that matter, to an all in preflop.. well you are just wasting your time in stars rebuys.)

[Andy Holt]

It really depends, sometimes I rebuy 9x or even 11x. Last week in the 45k I spent $150.

I think it's important not to limit yourself to a "max amount" of buyins, it can severely limit your potential depending on how you play during the first hour.

[chardrian]

I think all JCoop was saying was that on average you should be spending 5x the buyin in an R&A. Sometimes you'll get lucky and only have to spend 3x, but others you will be up to 9.

I like the 5 to 6x buy-in figure as an estimate to figure out whether or not the tourney is actually in your bankroll.

[The_Bankroll]

I agree. I'd probably only feel comfortable with 750 buy-ins at these things. so for a $5+1, I'd want a $4500 bankroll, but I'm kinda conservative.

Muxy isn't it obvious? You need to plan on about 70x rebuys max....therefore you should be rolled for $215 FOs to play in the $3RA...duh

Lol, did you profit on that tourney? I don't think I ever saw the results.

I agree though, 5x at least. Be ready to pay more when your good hands get sucked out on though.

He needed to have 9th or better to profit.

I know, I remember that... but I didn't ever see where he busted..

the idea is to roll yourself on the average buyin, no one (or alteast not me) said that you stop buying in after 5 buyins. I think that 5x is a decent average for most people, if thats not your average then you need to adjust it. I am definately not suggesting that you limit the amount of times you rebuy.
