Bankroll Question for the Math Guys
Can anyone tell me how much I would need in my pokerstars account to adequately bankroll playing the 5k HU stts? Assume my ROI is 10%(I have absolutely no idea if this is even close) and I want to keep my ror below 10%.
Thank You |

$5000+$100
~10% ROI & 10% ROR, bankroll = ~$55,600 ~12.5% ROI & 10% ROR, bankroll = ~$44,600 ~7.5% ROI & 10% ROR, bankroll = ~$73,500 Assuming that my numbers will be validated by others, I'll accept either a $50 transfer to my Party account or a cashier's check for $50, whichever is easier. You can PM me for the relevant information to make the transaction.

Erik versus Gig. You could charge people to watch that. Is your name the same on Stars?

Re: Bankroll Question for the Math Guys
It all depends on what Risk of Ruin (i.e. risk of blowing your entire bankroll) you are willing to accept. You can use this tool to calculate your risk of ruin for various bankroll sizes:
http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~sharnett/po.../rorcalc2.html To simulate a heads-up SNG, just enter 0 for first and second place, and enter the win-rate that gives you the ROI you expect for 3rd place. For 10%, this would be .605. (Note that the tool assumes a 10% vig, but the 5k SNGs only have a 2% vig, so the win rate you'll actually need to get a 10% ROI will be lower. Just use your estimated ROI as your baseline. You can calculate the true needed win-rate separately.) For example, according to the tool, with a $50k bankroll, your risk of ruin is approximately 9.6%, which is not too far off from Redeyes' estimate. |

Re: Bankroll Question for the Math Guys
I just wanted to know how much has to go into stars account so I don't have to reload. It takes forever to get money in that place.

Re: Bankroll Question for the Math Guys
Just for grins, keeping the 10% ROR constant. The values have been slightly rounded off, but they are close enough, I'm sure.
