Hello elesarrrr,

It is because you do not have enough buy ins for that limit.

Please read the bank roll management part of this article.

For starters, if you can't read a basic article and understand it, you're retarded - end of.

You need at least 40 buy ins for a SnG to play it otherwise you'll probably go bust. (I'm gonna assume PokerStrategy says 50 - that's a fair shout too.)

Now, I don't think it's fair they give you $50 and you go donk it off.

Anyways, because of the affiliate deals, they cap the limits you can play on until you have X amount of something.

Look under reason 2:

I'm also going to add that I don't care how amazing a player you are, because even Phil Ivey would go bust if he didn't follow bankroll managment.

It's kind of like putting your whole bankroll on a table and going all in with AA against KK. You're going to lose your entire bankroll 15% of the time.

So to sustain being a winning player, you need a bankroll that can sustain a few bad beats - hence cash games are 25 buy ins. SnGs 50, MTT - 200?

Sorry for being a bit blunt and rude, just the mood i'm in. Have fun and good luck at the tables :)


Good morning Guys :)

@elesarrrr, as Toby mentioned it before, If you start playing poker with the $50 starting capital, you can only play beginners' limits initially:

- No Limit: $0.02/$0.04
- Fixed Limit: $0.10/0.20
- Sit and Go Tournaments: $1 Buy-in

Thank you for helping out guys :heart:

@ lynius, hope your mood is up now after a good night sleep.

Have a nice day guys
Ingrid
