Rules of Thumb

Cash Games

  • 20 Buy-ins: Minimum for recreational play. High risk of going broke.
  • 40-50 Buy-ins: Recommended for serious players. Can weather standard variance.
  • 100+ Buy-ins: Professional standard. Very safe.

Tournaments (MTTs)

  • 50 Buy-ins: Absolute minimum. Extremely high variance format.
  • 100 Buy-ins: Standard for low-stakes grinders.
  • 200-300+ Buy-ins: Required for professionals to ensure survival through long downswings.
