hi guys what you think about bankroll fore this format?

In the 1$'s I would say 10 buy-ins. If you're more on the conservative side make it 20.

I’m not sure yet, because it’s a variance heavy format with the fast blind increase and the 20% antes in game. Also you play 4 handed the whole time. I wouldn’t be surprised that you get swings over more than 100 buy-inns. A bankroll for the $1 games should be more than $100 for sure.

While I wasn't dead serious with my suggestion, I still believe that this format has probably one of the lowest variance ever in it. Can't really explain it yet and I know this seems odd, because its basically an all-in party, but its in your hand to level the risk.

I agree with the 100 buy-in bankroll management, because it's never wrong! But half of it should also be fine here as well.

That’s interesting to know why you think that, but I’m pretty sure if you play the 25c 45 or 90 man SNG’s that the variance is lower. Also it’s a donk fest with a lot of fish in it that increased the variance as well.

i think people need to be more crazy in this game and 80% luck and 20% skill not like Adenauer poker

Maybe it's the length of the tourney. Of course you will get kicked out early a lot, on the other hand if you double up you don't have much time left to lose it again. ♦

I don't know, I could be totally wrong, I'll never find out. I only play them for the promo and if it's over I'll never touch them again.

Shouldn't it be just the opposite? When there is less time there is less room for skill?
As a cash game player, if I played only 100 hand sessions and happened to double up the first hand, I probably wouldn't lose it all during the last 99 hands. I still wouldn't say there is no variance The more I play the less my winnings have to do with luck.

I haven't tried this format but I would believe that the same thing applies there

It’s also a ZOOM format. So you still play a decent amount of hands in a short time on a 4 handed table. I wouldn’t be surprised that you can play 100 hands in 5 minutes and then you can still easy lose a 10k stack with the 1.000/500 ante 200 blind level in the last minute.

In the last minute people make more mistakes, some of them stick to the 10k stack because they are in the money, and some push 20bb with K7 from the CO.

That makes this game also unpredictable and I expect some people will take more time when they have a decent stack and don’t want to risk it.

I don't know about variance, but this is the most soul crushing format I've ever played. Getting a dozen bad beats and coolers in one hour can drive you insane
