Re: How many bigbets to play at a certain level?
although shorthanded the variance goes up so the chance of hitting a 'bad' run increases. A healthy short handed bankroll is definately closer to 500BB's especially if you plan on multi-tabling. Multi-tabling has the effect of allowing you to get more hands in more quickly and the net affect is to reduce total variance, but consequently you will also run into times when you suffer substantial loses at a given time because you just happen to be running bad on all your tables. It would be like having 4 consequtive bad sessions at a B&M, something that is far from extra-ordinary even though it might not be a common occurence.
I think many people on this site are very conscious of bankroll management and that is a HUGE part of why they are successful. You can be the best player in the world, but if you play underbankrolled you will eventually go broke.
