Simulation of Floating bankroll needed

[Nicholasp27]

i don't think 20/9/8 is that funky...people who are more aggressive tend to get more 1sts and 4/5ths than 2/3 places

people who are less aggressive may have tons of 3rds and a higher itm than 42%, but lower roi as a result as they enter itm extremely short stacked

[Nicholasp27]

which equations?
on his spreadsheet, he gives ror% and bankroll needed for that, etc, but that's assuming u never withdraw any money

this question is basically: what's the largest dip u can expect to have to be able to withstand at any point...so u can be safe withdrawing anything above that point from your account whenever you feel like it

is there an equation known for what i was calculating, and if so, where can i find it?

since you seem to like simulating-- and if you really want to solve this---

i would recommend a brute force guess-and-test, with x,y,z being random INTEGERS between 0 and 50, and a 10% or 20% leeway on the ROI (that is, variables satisfying the equation for a 30 ROI would give a result 29.8 < f(x,y,z) < 30.2 or something like that)...

It would be interesting to see the results of this program with a dist of:

1 - 10%
2 - 10%
3 - 10%

Which is what could be referred to as the "average" player.

10,000 sims of 10,000 sngs and the biggest downswing was...

-55

Thank you.

What language was the programmed in? Looks like basic?

[Nicholasp27]

yeah, vb in an Access module

This player would go broke pretty quick every time, since he is losing a buy-in every 10 tourneys on average.

[Nicholasp27]

that's why he's the 'average' player

however, i wonder why -55 is the lowest for that player, considering he should be 'expected' to lose 1000 buy-ins in 10,000 games

maybe i messed something up there

[Nicholasp27]

oh wow, i just realized that i had the line

If (randVar > 20 And randVar < 31) Then currBR = 1.8181

so every time it got 3rd it reset the br back to 1.81...so that means u could go down to -30 with getting no 3rds...ouch

i'll rerun the numbers now
