Re: Bankroll article

The correct question should be: given the full range of +EV gambling setups (different games, different limits, multitabling choices), each one with a different hourly rate and variance, which setup is optimal for you at a given bankroll?

Indeed, one part of the answer is that advantage gamblers should tend to play in games for which they are overbankrolled according to the Kelly Criterion or their preferred fractional Kelly system. This is a consequence of the way games get tougher as you move up, rather than being scalable as is assumed by proportional betting systems. Polls have indicated that most 2+2-ers are overbankrolled according to the usual heuristics, but it is unclear whether this is rational.
I'd like to see analyses of the expected amount of time it takes for good players to build a bankroll from level X to level Y in each variant of poker, particularly in the variants whose statistics are unfamiliar to me.
