Bankroll Mgt & Multi-tabling

[CDAC]

So depending on who you read, a winning cash games player needs 20-50 buy-ins to withstand normal variance and not go broke. How does multi-tabling affect your minimum bankroll. Lets say that you figure you need 20 buy-ins for your game / skill level, etc. How should I change that number if I suddenly want to take up 12 tabling?

As long as you are still a winning player 12-tabling, it doesn't affect your bankroll guidelines.

depends.

if you play a high variance game and you tend to tilt then I suggest having a bigger than usual roll for 12 tabling.

Generally people play tighter when multitabling so it's fine

I usually 4 table and it evens out. I have bad runs at one or two tables and good runs on the other 2. it would be nice to have good runs at all 4 for once.

Interesting. I always assumed that the bankroll guidelines were for live or single table poker. So extreme example...you have 20 buy-ins and you are 20 tabling. Your whole roll is in play. Winning player, not tilting, blah, blah, blah.

Everyone is okay with this? Just curious?

Most winning players will lower their PTBB/100 while multitabling, however, they are getting in many more hands and make more money in a short period of time because of this.

You need to analyze the difference in your PTBB/100 when multitabling and when you're not. The amount you increase your bankroll for multitabling should be directly related to how much your win rate is lowered due to multitabling.

Something else worth mentioning, if multitabling is causing a significant drop in your win rate make sure that you are easing in to it and working up tables as you feel comfortable with them.
