hee,

i have a quick question .. what kinda bankroll do you think the high stakes players like isildur, cole south, durrr etc have?

Hard to say cause im guessing most of them sell pieces of themselves. Still probably in the millions though im sure

ya, it depends on how much of themselves they regularly have.

i would guess they are more agggro than most people with their BR though

how does that work? sell pieces of themselves ? are there any members here who does that? And i don't know if you guys seen it, but there is a interview with antonius about isildur and he says you need like more then a 100 mil bankroll... you can find it on google

Basically they sell their action. For example, durrr will play w/ 100k, but he does not have 100k, so he asks omgclayaiken to put up 50k for him and he will then give omgclayaiken 50% of his winnings. The numbers vary and different deals are arranged but that's a very generic example. And obv not all plrs make deals, but i'm sure most of them do.

Durrrr, Antonius, Ivey, South, and all those guys have some deal w/ FT b/c they are pros there. I'm not sure exactly how it works but they make a lot of money from that i'm sure.

I think i've seen that article or heard about it. Not sure if he was serious or exaggerating but i wouldn't doubt that'd be a sufficient bankroll given the talent and the swings at that level.

It's on FTP Academy Dean's Corner when he talks about the Isildur games. Don't remember if it's in part 1 or two. http://academy.fulltiltpoker.com/vid...nsights/id/236 & http://academy.fulltiltpoker.com/vid...nsights/id/237

But he said you would need a 100 mill bankroll if those games where your regular games.. Like you could log in at any time and play a couple of thousand hands in them per day.

I think if you're willing to move down when you're running/playing bad....30 buy ins should be "ok" if you're aggressive with bankroll management requirements. (moving down is the key imo)
