Bankroll Management question.

just how do you get these 3000 BB stacks? the obvious solution is to rathole (leave the table) and join another one once your stack becomes too big.
the KK scenario is at the very least a setmine unless the 3bet is a very massive overbet (in which case fold is good)

Hi Cam3r,
Playing deep stacked it quite a bit different that playing w/ 100 BB stacks.
Bear in mind that your effective stack is only as big as the next biggest stack among your opponents.

So if you're playing with a $20 stack at NL2, and the other 5 players all have $2.00 stacks, the other 18 dollars doesn't do much for you. But man is sure looks impressive!

When there is another player at the table with a $20 stack, now you have some decisions to make.

Overall, I'm agreeing with Tomaloc here -- park the extra. This is especially true in the scenario you mentioned -- ie you stack at one table is a large fraction of your entire roll.

Best of luck,

Normally bankroll management plan doesn't take into account the fact that you could be playing deep.

As mentioned above, playing deep requires a bit different approach. When you play deep it is possible to make a lot more money. But it is also possible to make huge mistakes that cost a lot of money. For beginners, the second option is often true.
If you don't know how to adjust: what it means to your pre-flop defending ranges, sizings, overall strategy and so on. Do not play deep.

I would say that getting to stacks like you're describing on one table can't be done with just being lucky. If you're getting scared in spots like the KK one, then it's obviously wiser to leave that table and start new ones. I would suggest learning deep stacked play cause you seem to know what you're doing and you could be boosting your bankroll quite a bit by staying on these tables and not playing with scared money next time.

this is just thoughtlessness. you have to factor this in.

in OPs example it would be careless to play w 20$ having a 100$ roll. as you play less pots so deep, you could loosen up your BRM requirements somewhat, but you cant go crazy having 20% of your roll at stake.

as a 20 BI BRM is considered the minimum, i suggest to leave the table w 5$.

You're quite correct Pokamon,
However, if you look at the BRM articles on this site they assume that we're playing 100 BB stacks.

In the olden days, when Short Stack Strategy was a real thing, the articles often mentioned that players should not bring more than a certain percentage of their stack to the table -- SSS was for rank beginners who often had stacks of $5.00 or less.

I do agree that rather than leave the table, it is best to continue and adjust our play to suit the deeper stacks.

Congrats!! 150$ in an NL2 table lmao!

When I was play cash I d Def leave table once I double up or on NL2 with 5$ leave table and re enter, but I wasn't too comfortable in playing deep stacked, I always saw it as even if I get KK am I gonna play my A Game. Or will it make me money scared?
