SNGs - Fluid Approach

Heads-up 10x buy-in Heads-up 15x buy-in Heads-up 20x buy-in
6-seaters 10x buy-in 6-seaters 20x buy-in 6-seaters 30x buy-in
9-seaters 10x Buy-in 9 seaters 20x Buy-in 9 seaters 30x Buy-in

45-seaters 25x Buy-in 45 seaters 30x Buy-in 45 seaters 40x Buy-in
For multi-tabling (2-6 tables), double the required number of buy-ins.
Note, to adopt a fluid approach to SNGs you need to have strict discipline. If you struggle to control your emotions or tilt regularly following bad beats then you should adopt a grinders approach instead (below). With the fluid approach you must be prepared to level up and down frequently, and to the strict minimum buy-ins listed. It is a good approach for quick, but controlled progress, but doesnt suit players with lower self control or poor discipline
SNG Fluid Examples
1. An aspiring player, playing $33 9-seats SNGs should have a minimum bankroll of 20x33 = $660
2. A professional player, playing $2,000 6-seater SNGs should have a minimum bankroll of 30x2000 = $60,000
