Bankroll Definition and Recommendation for No-Limit Hold 'em

[creedofhubris]

Hi Matt:

6-max has a substantially higher variance than full ring, and headsup is even higher than 6-max. (Of course, your edge is also higher in those games, but not sufficiently so to cancel out the effect of variance in my experience.)

You may want to be advocating different ceilings for each. While I think a full ring nit could get by with 20 buyins, I think a 6-max guy might want 35 and a HU specialist 50.
