Multitabling Bankroll Question + General Stats Advice

[mdm13]

Longtime lurker here...
I have read some posts here and elsewhere about bankroll management and I know that for my intents about 300BB will probably suffice. However, does multitabling change this requirement? If I played 4 tables of something do I actually need 1200 BB or something like that?

FWIW, I 2-table the 1-2 game at FTP with a 400BB roll(balla I know). I could easily play another 2 tables but am really trying to do some decent BR management and not go busto again.

Also, how do these stats look?


I went on 100bb downswing right off the bat and tilted after that, compounding the troubles but I feel like the game I'm playing is probably at least slightly winning at these limits. Agree, disagree?

3000 hands, thats 2 days, keep playing more

I think 300B is to small of a bankroll. 500 or 600BB is better. 300B downswings is not to uncommon and it can be very stressful to be on a short bankroll.

Well, yeah 3k hands is nothing, I guess what I mean to ask is that is a 24/18 style profitable? From my data mining some of the winningest players over small sample sizes (8-10k) have stats more like 28/19 which leads me to believe I should be playing more hands and limping more, although I'm not sure in what situations I should be doing this.

Most of the players that you see who are playing from 28/19 to 30/21 aren't getting their extra VPIP by limping, but by playing a lot more hands from the blinds than you do. They also open more hands from the button and CO, and re-steal in position much more often.

As long as your game does not deteriorate when multi-tabling there is no difference whether you play four tables simultaneously or play four single table sessions in a row.

24/18 is perfect for 1/2 IMO. But if these numbers tell anything after 3k hands its defend your BB more and limp less.

Do not open limp in 6max. It's just bad poker.

There's a stats post by wookie in the sticky. I suggest you read that. I believe he recommends something close to 24/18 until you get comfortable playing marginal hands in the blinds.
