BR for 4-way play
I have a question regarding making the move to 4-way play, and it concerns bankroll. I play limit games.
The rule of thumb I've been going by is, for any given limit, buy in for 25 big bets but keep a bank roll of 500 big bets. This has me buying in a 1/2 game for fifty bucks with 2k in reserve. Now when I start playing 1/2 4-way, I'll be buying in for fifty bucks four times. I'm wondering do I need a larger reserve (since I'm now risking two hundred bucks at a time and not fifty) or will my two thousand be enough (since I'm still only risking fifty bucks at any one table)? What's the rule of thumb here? |

When multi tabling, you're just getting hands in faster, so you don't really need a bigger bankroll.

2k is plenty for playing 1/2 limit. Look at it this way, you're not really changing your stakes by 4-tabling. In theory you are only speeding up the rate at which your bankroll would have increased or decreased anyway. Of course, this is assuming that playing 4 tables at once will not affect your winrate.

500 BB at 1-2 is $1000 not $2000

Re: BR for 4-way play
500Big bets is a bit excessive. 300 should be more then enough. also 2k is 1000 big bets. so you are absolutely in the clear for 1/2. Multitablingh will actually decrease your variance so you don't need to up the bankroll.

Re: BR for 4-way play
for 1/2? I understand the need for big buffers at high stakes, but if you are a winning player at 1/2 it is unnecessary. If you are learning to play, that's another matter(or learning to multibable).

Re: BR for 4-way play
unless you plan on goin on a 400 bb downswing at 1/2, 500 bb is really excessive. and if you go on that big of a downswing.. maybe you should play pai gow, not texas hold em.
