5/10 bankroll

[jzpiano]

Hijack warning: Same question for 10/20, are we going with 300,500, or 1kBB on average here?

[MicroBob]

it depends.

[forshure]

You make 500 bets/week? Even w/ an insane winrate, that would be alot of hands a week.

well jus got a mail today that i am now in there vip club i am not sure how it goes,so yeah must be playin lotsa hands.
and the result is for last 1 month only i used to play stt and mtt but i find cash games a steady source of income.

1k a week at 1/2 6max? Long-term? Ugh.

Anyways, i won't be stepping up to 5/10 6max until i have 15k.. i have 12k online bankroll right now but i rarely sit down at anything higher then 3/6 6max. It REALLY depends on if your playing full-time and if this is your sole source of income.

How willing are you to go on a 500bb downswing with said bankroll?

I think 15K for 5/10 is a little much. IF you lose 1000BB at any one level it is time to move down or seriously re-evaluate your game. Of course if you are a pro and this includes living expense etc than that is fine.

However I really do not think that the OP is a pro. I say if you think you are ready for the game give it a shot with 200BB if you lose 50BB or so move down and rebuild. Taking shots at higher games and moving down when unsucessful really helped in the developement of my game. Everytime I took a shot at higher limits I learned new things

As a word of advice to the OP. From your post it doesnt seem like you are that experienced so it might be better to stay at 1/2 for some time and work on your game.

I promise you the competition is MUCH stiffer at 5/10 and 10/20

as someone who just recently moved through party's 5/10 game (60k hands)...i'd recommend at least 500BB...preferably 600.

This may seem like a simple question - but do you simply double your BR requirements for multitabling (i.e. BR of $6K for two tables, $9K for three, etc)?

Same roll for any amount of tables at the same limit.

This is not true. As the number of tables increases your standard deviation increases by the square root of the number of tables being played.

I know nothing of the math behind this, but it's pretty much always been said that the requirement is the same. I mean, playing 200 hands @ 10 tables is exactly the same as playing 2000 hands at 1 table for purposes of variance. The only issue is if you play a lot of tables you want to make sure that you can do a full buy in (which for me is like 40/50BB's since I don't like having to monitor how I'm doing at each table and rebuy) even after a downswing, then you might want some extra. But it has nothing to do with your risk of ruin (except for the degree to which your winrate might decrease from playing more tables).

1/2= 3000$
2/4= 6000$

5/10= 15000$

Thats just me. Im I crazy or what? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
