Default Re: Bankroll Management & Shot Taking (essay/long)

If you go broke in the 100/200 game with a 50BB bankroll 60% of the time, your hourly rate would be $100/hr 60% of the time and $200/hr 40% of the time. 100(.60) + 200(.40) = 140. This means that your hourly rate is $140/hr based on risk of ruin.

If you go broke in the 30/60 game with a 160BB bankroll 10% of the time, your hourly rate would be $100/hr 10% of the time and $150/hr 90% of the time. 100(.10) + 150(.90) = 145. Your hourly rate for moving up to the 30/60 game would be $145/hr.

I think your math is off here. In the first example, if you lose $10k and go back to making $100 an hour, you can't say that's your winrate for the time period, because you just lost $10k in however many hours.
