6-player-table bankroll requirements/SD estimate

[Joshua]

I normally only play 10-handed so I would like to ask those of you who play short-handed how large bankroll swings you go trough. What is the required bankroll for shorthanded play at an aggressive six-player-table? Or maybe a better question would be what approximate range the Standard Deviation is at an aggressive six-player table. I just want an rough estimate.

For me, SD for 6 player table is

16.9 BB / Hour
17.2 BB / 100 hands

compared to 10 player tables

11.24 BB / hr
14.34 BB/ hr

The number of hands played in my database isn't huge, but SD converge pretty quickly.

Thanks alot for the reply. That was exactly what I wanted!

My SD is a bit higher -- 21BB -- over about 120 hours. Then again my game could stand a little tightening up . . .

Is SD listed somewhere on poker tracker? I havent found it so far. Otherwise, how are you keeping track of your SD? I play on partypoker, so Im not sure if I can use pokerstat. Anyway, I would like to know what programs you guys are using and how they stand up against pokertracker.
