Default Re: FOR DAVID SKLANSKY OR MASON MALMUTH

golfpro: "Is it possible for a winning player to start with a bankroll of 100BB?"

Of course it's possible. "Is it realistic?" Sure. But you might go broke. That's a realistic possibility even if you start out with a 300 BB bankroll. Obviously the risk will be higher with the smaller bankroll. In fact it will be MUCH higher as you can calculate using assumptions about your expected win rate.

What's really going on here is that you are thinking about making a PERSONAL decision about taking a GAMBLE. The risk/reward ratio depends on YOU. What does the consequence of losing mean to YOU. And what does the boon of getting lucky DO for you. It may be you just want to gamble. That's ok with me. I've done a bit of gambling in my time as well. Usually against my better judgement though.
