I have been playing holdem for alost a year. I started with home games my coworkers where hosting. i have been to casinos a few times. I recently went and played a 3/6 game with $60. i played two good hands and lost all the money. I play aggresive with good cards and fold bad ones. Now i am playing playmoney on partypoker. i started with 1000 chips now i have 6000. i am about to start playing the .50/1.00 games. how much money should i bring to the table. also how much for bigger tables.

Sit at the table with at least 20-25 times the big bet.
It's also a good idea to have like 10 times your average buy in in your bankroll. So an example might be:
$.50/$1 games
Buy in= $25 or more
Bankroll $250 or more
Keep in mind that these are really minimum numbers. I would probably sit with $40-50 at a $.5/$1 game.

if you're gonna play no limit i would actyually increase that to about 50X bb so if you're gonna be playing .5/1 NL i would sit with at least $50 In limit of course, providing you can reload, as long as you got enough to call/raise any bets to the river plus several blinds.

thanks for the quick answer. i will have to wait a little longer to save that much money. but it is better then going in short stacked.

To give you an idea of my game, I sit at the 2/4 table with $80-$100. I sat with $100 one time, did not win a single hand. Best I did was split one pot. Lasted almost 4 hours on my hundred. :D

THANK YOU FOR A REASONABLE NUMBER!!!
I've heard people recommend up to 300X the big bet as a CASH IN. I’d still consider myself a nooB but…honest to God I couldn't believe someone would bring $1,800 DOLLARS to a simple, low limit 3/6 game.

That's a good bankroll for 3/6, but I'd never plop that much on the table. I would LIKE to have a bankroll of around 1500 for playing 2/4, but I don't really play all that much so it doesn't make sense really. I've got about 400 bucks put away that I use, pulling out from it occassionally to buy things I want but don't really want to spend the money on.

Yeah, rule of thumb in limit: Never have less than 12 Big Bets on the table at all times.
And the oft-quoted bankroll figure is 300 big bets, for a total roll, NOT for buy in.
I'd recommend bringing a couple hundo with you. Downswings are inevitable.

don't play with a small stack....bring about 40big bets and leave the table when u lose 1/2 your stack.
