probably 300x the bb

I usually sit down with 30x the bb so in 30/60 I will sit down with 1800. Remember in stud you are paying both an ante and a possibly a bring in. You also bet a total of 5 times in stud if you see the hand to completion, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th street versus 4 times in holde: preflop, flop, turn, river. The most important thing to do before you begin playing is learn how to properly play teh first 3 cards. Lots of mistakes can be avoided by learning what are and are not good starting hands as well as how to play the different types of starting hands. Such as 3 to flush and open ended startight play better multi way where as a big pair plays better heads up.

sounds like a good rule for a single buyin session, but what about your bankroll for stud? Do you suggest having enough for 15 sessions? I figured it would be more preciscely(spelling) because of the bring ins plus more streets of betting, I figure the antes off-set blinds if you count the amount of blinds you pay vs the amount of antes for one orbit around the table.

If you are playing for the hell of it I am not sure you need a bankroll. It is only players who want to try to make a living off of poker that need proper bankroll management. I am assuming you are starting at the lowest stakes possible until you stop losing money anyway....That said, I have always thought that one-size-fits-all bankroll guidelines are highly dubious. There's more than one way to make money in poker. If you push with an edge each time you have an edge, however small, you will experience more variance than someone who pushes only with a "large" edge.300x big bet is what most will say, simply because everone says that. Just make sure you understand what are the variance/bust implications for whatever bankroll you choose.

Eh, who the **** do you think you are? I am a winning holdem player and know much about money management, applied to holdem that is. As soon as I stop losing money, wow, how about you first stop making assumptions and shut the **** up? 300 big bets is what people say about limit holdem dumb****. Jesus christ, pushing edges, however small is not a smart plan if all you has is one buy in. Wow, your pompus remark is astounding, do you even play stud? Ok, NO? NEXT!Its playing cards, which I am good at, so I am winning money at stud so far.....Where the hell do you get off?!Play good starting hands, bet when you feel you have a good hand and gauge your opponents hands based on their betting patterns and style of play/tendencies. Its called trying a new game to learn something new, ever try omaha for the first time? How about razz?ugh, you make me want to beat something with a blunt object.

lol he was just saying that once you stop losing money at stud, (assuming you are a losing player at stud currently because you are just "playing for the hell of it") then move up to the limit you want to play and worry about a proper bankroll.

I started playing for the hell of it, meaning I had no reason to start playing but wanted to learn something new, not, Im playing and throwing my money away for the hell of it, because Im a stupid action junkie fish.

21gambit:Let me get this straight, you ask for help and advice. Someone gives you some pretty damn good advice in my opinion and you go off on one. I would advise everyone against offering this man (who is clearly a losing player at Hold 'Em and having yet another bad day) any advice.

I would suggest more than anything when it comes to stud games you play in a proper game, I only play hi-lo stud but the one thing you must remember is that antes are way different than blinds, if you are a tight aggressive player then find a small ante game if you want to flip coins then find a big ante game and play every hand.Perfect example of this is the stud games on party poker you have a .50- 1.00 game with a .25 cent ante so you are paying one fourth the big bet every hand, that means you have to play almost anything, with a draw.If you play a tight game and wait for good starters when you scoop a pot it barely covers your antes.Where as the 1-2 game also has a .25 cent ante and you are paying one eight the ante and can tighten up and play more solid poker, so in actuality you would need a larger bankroll for the lower game due to variance.most people pay little attention to this but I went from losing a lot at stud hi-lo to winning a lot just from changing to a proper ante game.poker stars has a ten cent ante I believe on the small game also which is very good.

Play the $3/$6 game on Party - the ante is $0.50You should be able to pick off the profits with just $1000 in that game by playing tight. It's full of calling stations

gambit got real salty, hehe, funny stuff. yea he obviously is a sore loser, but first and foremost a loser! jk gambit just wanted to rile up a bit. im gonna give u a different idea for a recreational bankroll. base ur limits on ur income u make from ur job. these guys write those bankroll reqs under the assumption that u are a professional which u r not. play whatever limit u feel comfortable playing. until u get a very big bankroll its not worth protecting really, if u make a decent living.

In terms of having enough for 15 sessions, I think it depends on the levels at which you play. As obvious as this sounds, you need more times the big bet for the higher games then you do for the smaller games because the better you get the more different types of hands you will play and you will not necessarily always do the obvious like just bring in with 3 to a flush, you may complete sometimes due to what the cards are in the flush and what the possibilities are you will make on 4th street based on upcards. If you are trying to improve your stud game, the best recommendation I can give is to play $50 and $20 tourneys online. This will allow you to see many different situations for a very cheap price.
