Default Party 15/30 bankroll

Question for the party 15/30 players out there: how big of a bankroll do you need in order to play 4 tables of 15/30 on Party? Assume a winning poker player who's never played this particular game before. Thanks

Theoretically speaking, you don't need any larger of a "total" bankroll. Of course, you WILL need a larger session bankroll. I like to keep a minimum of 150-200 big bets online. But I'm set up to where I can quickly add if I need to.

Hey 34,

I'm one of the more "bigger bankroll" minded posters here, so I suspect most will say lower than me, but I always tell people $15k minimum.

Just because you are playing 4 tables at once doesn't mean you need a larger bankroll.

The whole point of a bankroll is that you don't go bankrupt over the course of downswings. You shouldn't go through bigger downswings just because you are playing 4 tables at once. In fact, you're downswings in terms of hours will be much less frequent BECAUSE you're playing so many more hands.

The only reason you may have downswings a little more frequently is if you don't play well because you are overextending yourself by trying to play more tables then you are capable of playing well at.

Does anyone remember that in Statistics you divide by n when figuring out standard deviation? As n gets larger your deviation gets smaller...

n in this case is the number of hands you're playing, standard deviation is the variance in your bankroll.

Here is a question you should answer: What % risk of ruin are you willing to take?

Another relevant question is how much you expect to average per hour, or what you currently average in your current game.

If you answer these questions, we can give you a much more accurate answer.

If it were me, I would not play exclusively 15/30 with out at least $12,000.
