From my point a view, a 300-350BB has never been a problem. And i've hit some downswings.... but never a 200BB one yet [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I think many here would be suprised at the level you need to have less than a 1% ROR.

Then here is something else to consider. Say you have 400BB, let's say you hit a 150BB losing streak. Which in 5/10 full would not be out of line. ....

So now you are down to 250BB or $2500. You have it in the back of your head that $1800 is 300BB for 3/6... and damn it you don't want to have to move all the way down to 2/4....think you will still be playing your best game?

If you have some of your stats

BR = -(StandradDeviation^2/2*win rate)ln(risk of ruin)

put .01 in or something if you want a 1% risk of ruin (going broke). Or .05 if you want a 5% chance of going broke..

of course this wont be entirely accurate unless you have a large sample size but it should serve as a good rule of thumb
