View Full Version : Question for David: Bankroll Considerations


10-18-2001, 04:55 AM
Hi David,


Can you give your opinion on the correct bankroll for 40-80 limit hold-em for a player that can average one big bet per hour at the game? If you could include the chance of ruin for $20,000 bankroll and the chance of ruin for what you consider the correct bankroll it would be appreciated. This assumes the bankroll is not depleted for living expenses. This is in reference to a post below that you made a while ago.


Thanks

Regarding the 15-30 Hold-em game:


Assuming you can beat the game fairly easily, it is extremely unlikely that you would ever go broke with a starting bankroll of $20,000 that you did not deplete for expenses. Anything under $10,000 is in a lot of jeapardy (because its chances are about the square root of $20,000's chances-eg 1% vs 10%.)
