Default Re: Party 15/30 BR - How much is enough?

This post and much of this thread contains a common misconception. The 300 BB rule refers to a starting bankroll. That is you start with 300 BB and let your BR grow, never withdrawl. If you do this you are probably pretty safe starting with 300 BB. That is because when you hit the eventual 300 BB losing streak, you likely will have much more than 300 BB.

On the other hand if you continuously draw down your BR to 300 BB, then you do not have nearly enough. As GOT said 1000BB is more like it.

The chance of at some time having a 300 BB losing streak is much greater than the chance of going broke starting with 300 BB and letting the BR grow.
