Well, I've just had a three hour session on Pacific Poker 10/20 limit and I'm up $1000 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Maybe I should stick to short-handed for a bit longer.

SH is higher variance.

6500 is not a full roll for 10/20 limit.

discretion at this point in your poker career is the far better part of valor.

So, the 300xBB rule doesn't apply to short-handed?

I'm not sure of the exact rule of thumb for 6-max play, but I'd guess 500xBB at the absolute minimum. Those SH games can have some wicked variance, as evidenced by your +50xBB session. You could just have easily wound up on the losing end of that run...

Well, yes, I've been playing long enough to realize this and I have had some awful sessions of 6-max online. Thanks for the advice on bankroll, though. Guess I'll play it a bit safer now.
