Roy Cooke article in Card Player is wrong.

His main point being that internet hold 'em ring games require a 50% larger bankroll than live play.

No tipping and no jackpot drop unless desired should not increase but decrease bankroll requirements.

I've played probably 500,000 hands of online poker from $1-$2 to $5-$10 and have not deviated down more than 150 BB at any point.

I believe that bank roll requirement are much less for online winning players.

He usually has such good advice. I was surprised to see such an inaccurate assesment.

Comments?

Your WR online goes down (when compared to the same limit in B&M) and your SD goes up (because the online games are more aggressive)

Take these two factors together and you most assuredly need a bigger bankroll online.
