It does change slightly actually, if you actually calculate your necessary bankroll instead of going by rule of thumb.

Your win rate will drop some and your variance will go up some, making a bigger bankroll necessary. (300BB is for a 3BB/100 winner with a well controlled variance.)

Are you saying this is because you think you will play differently playing 2 tables as opposed to one table? If so, yeah i agree you're win rate per table probably does drop a little. I'm not sure the SD per table will really increase though.

Now, if we make the assumption that we can play each of the 2 tables equally as well as we could play one table alone, then there is absolutely no change in the bankroll requirement.

Let s = hourly standard deviation for one table, let u = win rate for one table. Then Bankroll

b = (3*s)^2/4u.

Now, let S = hourly standard deviation for playing 2 tables then S = sqrt(2)*s. And let U = hourly win rate for playing 2 tables, then U = 2u. So bankroll for playing 2 tables is

B = (3*S)^2/4U = (3*sqrt(2)*s)^2/4*2u = (3*s)^2/4u.

So, you can see the bankroll requirement is the same so long as we assume that we can play each of the 2 tables equally as well as we can play one table.
