If I'm four tabling SnG's what should my bankroll be before $6.50's?

Hey.... I ususally do pretty well in Sng's but quite often go on a bad run when building a stack playing out of my roll and stacking off... if I'm four tabling $3.50 sngs what should my bankroll be before I head to $6.50?

Don't think that the number of tables makes that much difference to your required bankroll provided that you can still make as good decisions when 4-tabling as you can when 1-tabling.

In that case I'd be looking for at least 50 buyins before moving to the $6.50s.

40 or 50 seems to be conventional wisdom, it is definately a question of your comfort and whether it inhibits your play, and whether you can take swings, also it is dependent on your skill, more skillful players can have more humble bankrolls for the limits. Competent players with confidence and relaxed about money I'd say 40 ish or so

If you're worried about running bad and need a bit of breathing space to feel comfortable playing your best game, then I would suggest going to the more conservative end of 40-50 buyins. If you have bad luck then don't panic, if you drop down to 35/40 BI then switch straight back into the 3.40s and give it a shot again when you're back up.

Ya, this is good advice. Whatever BR level you run with, if you run bad, then there's no shame in dropping down until you are rolled for the higher level again; in fact, not doing so is a recipe for going busto.

I guess 50 is enough, but I'm a huge roll nit, so I would have like 100+ for any limit I'm at for tilt reasons.
Nothing quite like losing 15 in a row and be forced to drop down. If you only got 30, that's half your roll, and if you got 130, that's but a drop in the bucket.

And no matter who you think you are r what you think of yourself, you WILL at some point run worse than death itself.

I like having 100BI behind me. It allows me to play freely while taking advantage of players afraid to lose their BI.

I also tend not to risk more than 10% of my BR at any one time. For example, if I have $1000 I'll limit myself to 10 $10 tourneys at once. There are many ways your computer, internet connection, ISP can go bad and you could lose more than 10% of your roll. For me, losing <10% of my roll is something I can handle if things really go badly wrong.
