Thanks for the helpful response.

To give you a rough feel of fluctuations and bankroll requirements, a typical win rate for a good player in a casino game is in the ballpark of one big bet per hour (e.g., $8/hr in a 4/8 game) and a typical standard deviation is roughly ten big bets per hour (e.g., $80/hr in the same 4/8 game).

I think this info can be turned into some meaningful estimates related to a Kelly-based bankroll; I strongly suspect the 300-500 BB recommendations came from a consideration of the formula.
