Default Re: bankroll question

More of a psychological thing, IMHO. Nothing is worse after a 100 BB downswing to than to realized that over half your roll is in play when you sit down to 4 tables. Whereas, in theory, multitabling should bring variance quicker, there is a learning curve to going from 1 table to 4 or even 2 to 4. My 500 BB suggestion is from personal experience with several sizable downswings due to a combination of cold cards and playing too timidly because of fear i was going to go broke after a prolonged streak. Since it seems our question asker is a newer player (i'm assuming here), I simply suggest that he give himself a larger cushion.
