With that bankroll I would play:

Any micro-stakes ring game and buy in for either the minimum amount or for $1.45, whichever is the smallest allowed. I would then leave the game if my stack reached $2.91 before the blinds got around to me again.

Any SNG for $1.45 buy-in or lower.

Any MTT for a $1 buy-in or lower.



TBD, I recall reading a post by yourself that explained why you would leave the table after achieving a certain amount of money. Can you direct me to the thread it was posted in? I can't remember why you choose to get up at that point, but I'm certain there's an excellent reason for it.

You might be thinking of this post in the $10K Challenge thread. Don't think I went much into the "why" of it though. The BRM strategy I use is adopted from the same strategy Chris Ferguson uses.

The why of it for me is that bankroll management is really a double-edged strategy. The buy-in limits are set to minimize losses. But very few poker players play to lose their money as slowly as possible. Most of us play to win, to make money, to build our bankroll upward. The "walk away a winner" point is the other edge of that strategy, design to keep our bankrolls moving upward when the poker gods smile upon us.

The way that it's set up is to leave a game when your chipstack represents 10% of your current bankroll. For those times when you're all business and just there to make money, you would bring 5% of your bankroll to the table and walk away when you it that 10 percent marker.

Of course sometimes we just want to play poker for fun. If you're looking to stick around the table for a long period of time, step down in stakes a couple of levels. That way you can bring just a fraction of that 5% to the table. Then you would have to 5, 10, 20+ times your chipstack before hitting that 10% marker and being forced to leave, which leaves the likelihood of being forced out of a game due to the BRM strategy rules super slim.
