So I've built my roll playing micro stakes cash to $200. I've always enjoyed tournament/sng play more then cash, but I think cash (at least for me) has helped me learn the basics of poker better then tournaments/sng's would have.

Anyway, so I really feel ready and want to transition to mttsng's and some mtt's. What kind of brm should I use for these games? I was thinking 100 buy ins minimum for mtt's, and 200 buy ins for sngs? So I'd play the $1 and $1.50 45/90 man sngs, with occasional $2.50 180 mans just trying to bink one. Also play mtt's no bigger then The Big $2.20 for ex, with occasional $3.30 and $4.40 shots.

I'd build the roll to to about $625 or so, and transition to just playing the $2.50 180 mans and tournaments no bigger then $5 with occasional shots at Sunday Storm for ex. Does this sound like an ok plan? Also, any advice for playing games would also be greatly appreciated.

Why a bigger roll for SnG than MTT?

Plan 9/18man Sng's, $1.50. If you crush them, spin your roll up and move to $3.50's. SnG's have less variance, so should be 100x for SnG, and 1000x for MTT. (Very few people go for that though)

lol no, fuck 9man/18man, thats not poker

Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol

bigger roll for sng then MTT, because I'd be playing sngs mostly, with only some mtt's mixed in.

yea perfect plan op but make sure you keep the majority of your plays at the lower stakes so the occasional shots are occasional.

Cliffs - good plan - so stick to it!

poker is soooo much easier when you flop sets
