Default Re: 2/5 NL vs 20/40 Limit

It's really hard to say because SD's (and of course winrates!) can differ significantly among players, especially at NL, and a seemingly small difference in SD can make a huge difference in risk-of-ruin.

Conventional wisdom is that 300bb is a bad but not astronomical losing streak at limit, and that 20bi is a bad but not astronomical losing streak at NL, so 2/5 is probably closer to 15/30.

As stigmata alludes to, the comparison is kind of apples-and-orangey because at these stakes a NL expert will have a much more favorable ratio of WR/SD than a limit expert.
