I got religion - 500 BB roll for 6-max is the minimum
I'm guessing I have around 100K hands of 6-max, avg 2BB/100 winner. Several 100 BB swings along the way, no biggie. But recently I survived a 230 BB downswing, took 8000 hands to climb out of it. The whole time I wasn't worried tho because I always try to maintain a 500 BB roll. If I had the 300 BB "recommended" minimum I woulda been in deep deep caca. If I ever get to "only" 200 BBs then its time to drop down a level.
Anyway I'm glad I survived this big dip.. I'm thinking 1000 BB rolls really take the pressure off the variance. 300 just doesn't cut it for 6-max. 500 is the minimum. L8r.. BB |

[/ QUOTE ] Maybe I'm too conservative, but I think having at least 750 BBs for the next level before moving up is not a bad idea either.. then get it to 1000BB or drop back down quickly. I recently cashed out most of my bankroll to pay for a -NICE- vacation.. only had $500 left online when I got back. I started over playing $1/2 6-max. If I'da had the big dip right then it woulda wiped me out. I now know that yes it is possible for good winning players to go on huge amazing downswings. I want to be overly prepared for the next one. 1000BBs here I come! |

Yeah I had 600bb going into my most recent swing. 170 bb? No problem.

I know I've posted this several times before but it's really good advice previously posted by someone else:
You will run worse and take a worse downswing than you ever have before, so be ready. -Craig |

[/ QUOTE ] Hope I will be too soon. But I am getting there lost 5000$ in a week recently and it hardly bothered me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] What every new player needs to realize IMO is that the required bankroll depends mostly on your winrate. I think that if your winrate is slightly above 2BB/100 you need more than 300BB to be safe. I have had one 230 and one 250 BB downswing during my 170K hands (+2.3BB/100) so 500BB seems like a fairly safe bankroll. On the other hand if your winrate is 1BB/100 I think you need considerably more or be at high risk of having to move down due to a downswing. |
