ive been told a 300BB bankroll is sufficient for a winning limit hold em player. in considering playing omaha, it seems like the swings would be much greater due to the amount of draws that can be present in all of the hands at the table. is this accurate and is a larger bankroll necessary to handle the standard deviation in an omaha game?i apologize if the answere is obvious, but ive only recently begun to study the game.

I think a few people considered limit Omaha H/L 8 to be on the low end in a thread about the least swingy games.

Can't find that link...

Limit Omaha games are less swingy because you can nut peddle a helluva lot easier.
