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).

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.

I've gone on a 450 BB downswing.
Do you want to argue I'm not a winning player? |

If you lost 800 bucks at 1/2 then you were playing bad poker, on drugs, on tilt for an absurdly long time, or the unluckiest person alive. |

Besides good bank roll habits should begin at the lower levels. If you're carrying only 300 as you move up you <u>will</u> lose it eventually. |

I think I was a marginal winner even while I was seeing triple and crap though. Definitely not a big one for a while though. |

[/ QUOTE ] You may play limit better than I do, but I would bet that my win rate when I play $1-$2 is much higher than your win rate at whatever limit you had that 450 BB downswing. Bankroll requirements are proportional to SD^2/WR. Doubling your win rate cuts your bankroll requirements in half and vice versa. Huge downswings are usually caused by low win rates. Someone crushing a microlimit game with 150 BB may be safer than an expert in a tough game with 500 BB. |
