Take your worst poker downswing and multiply it by 5 to get an idea of what is in store.

that is def the problem with blackjack. if you assume that you can always beat poker games and let's say your hourly rate in poker is ((1/300)*bankroll)/hr. In blackjack it's closer to ((1/1500)*bankroll)/hr.

going from poker -> bj really only makes sense when:
- it's not purely for EV (you want fun, comps, etc)
- your bankroll is either much higher than your skill, or your bankroll is much bigger than the biggest beatable poker games you can find.
