Default Re: Sit and go and the Kelly criteria

Figure your win rate r and variance v for large sample. Your bankroll should be v/r for full Kelly. So lets say you make 10$ per tourney with a standard deviation of 100$, your optimal bank will be 10^4/10=1000. There is a paper about this at bjmath.com.
Scale down for fractional Kelly.
