Anything $ 25 per point and higher makes you a serious player.

If you're a budding money player I'd worry less about what level roller you're perceived as than determining your comfort and confidence levels. I've played for stakes ranging from $ 1 per point to $ 100 per point, but I always felt my comfort level was in the $ 10 - $ 20 per point range.

Another approach is to figure you'll need a bankroll that equates to 100 points at the agreed on stake. For instance, at $ 10 per point your bankroll should be $ 1000.

Good luck to you.

Thank you for sharing your experience Nihilist ! And you are also very right Diane.

For example I set my bet limits to play an amount of 5% (and this is usually between 5-10$) of my cashier balance per point or match game.

Usually I like to play 5 pointers match games, or moneygames. If I choose to play moneygames, then the stakes would be 0.75-6% of balance.

I think the main difference between moneygames and match games is that moneygames have a higer variance effect over your balance, and this is mainly because the stake will vary in a relatively wide range of 1 to 8 units. For example I like to play 5% of my balance no matter if I play in a 5 point match game or in a 9 point one.

As an aside, I saw people playing 250-2000$ (at Play65) per moneygame, but I also saw people playing 200-300$ per 15-21 match point. In my opinion both categories are High Rollers, even the differences betwen the two are HUGE. (refering at money and time spent on it)
