Message: [QUOTE="Hermus, post: 5691797, member: 346197"] Happy to help! My reasoning is to buy-in for the maximum (and auto rebuy) to set me up for winning the maximum amount. The main benefit of buying in short is to reduce variance or extend the life of your bankroll if you're a losing player. Nothing wrong with sitting down with 40 bbs if you're still learning the fundamentals. In that case, try to at least rebuy to 40 bbs if your stack starts dipping below that amount. Just keep in mind, as you get better and have an edge on the rest of the table you'll want to start buying in for the full amount. Strategy actually changes as your stack depth changes so keep in mind to adjust accordingly. For example, getting it all in preflop with JJ for 20 bbs is perfectly fine, but getting it all in preflop with JJ for 100 bbs is a bad play. [/QUOTE]
