Default 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).

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?

Losing 800 dollars at 1/2 before dropping down to .50/1 is a retarded thing to do. 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.

It happens. 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 might want to argue that your play was probably not consistent of a winning player over the entire stretch

Eh, perhaps. 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.

I will just note that 10 tabling on no sleep for a few days... is not a winning strategy [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

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.

I don't think anyone ever plans to go on a 400 bb downswing, and yet.....

And I was wrong, 500 bb at 1/2 is, indeed, $1000.00, not $2000.00. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
