I’ve been reading with interest the archives on session bankroll. Based on what I’ve learnt, I’ve been buying in waaayyyy too light for correct play, but I view current live play as practicing keeping track of a live count in real conditions (improving!), betting discipline, etc. So it’s fine for now.

But when it’s time to start in earnest, the general advice is 30-50 max bets per session. Buy-ins I’m seeing at the tables I’m playing at are typically 1-3 max bets or say 10-30x table minimum. Some people come in and buy in 4 min bets. I may as well bring a bugle with me if I’m going to buy in 10 max bets which would be 2x table max bet limit. So:

1. What percentage of your session BR do you typically buy in at?
2. Are table limits a function of that decision?
3. What are the mechanics of even bringing out your cash (I’m thinking my money clip is a bad idea and I should use a typical folding wallet)? “Dealer, hold this elastic band while I peel off a grand...” doesn’t seem right.

Thanks
