Bankroll for multitables?

[xpander]

If you can handle multitabling, no higher roll is needed. You're just plowing through the hands faster - there is no change in the amount of variance just because of multitabling.

There definatly is, if you have a 15BB/100 variance and your playing at 4 tables, that can be magnified because your playing at 4 tables at once so your vaiance in any given day is greater. You have the ability to win and loose more.

[dealer_toe]

no, its win or lose faster. You'll win or lose the same in an identical 1,000 hand stretch whether that 1,000 hands was played 4 tabling or 1 tabling over a couple days. (I know not precise because winrates go down a little bit w/ multitabling, but you get my point.)

No



It's amazing how many people still seem to not get this, given how much info. there is on 2+2 about it.

[FishHooks]

OK lets try this again for you people, say you play 4 hours of poker a day. (going to use 50 hands an hour/table for this) When you play one table at a time that will be about 200 hands for the day. Now if your 4 tabeling you will play 800 hands and since your playing more hands that is more variance. Not saying our variance of BB/100 goes up, but because you play more hands logically your variance goes up per hour. Therefor you need a bigger bankroll incase of a downswing, because a downswing with 4 tables is much more costly than with one table.

Now if you 4 table for 1 hour, and 1 table for 4 hours, and you generate the same amount of hands (which is what you guys keep assuming) then the variance is the same.

Your logic stinks.

Still no.




Think about it this way.
Let's say you are in a regular B&M cardroom.
Suddenly the dealer is able to deal 4x as fast.

Would you need a bigger bankroll for this?

my biggest 15/30 downswing (8 tabling session) ever was somewhere between 8K to 10K. that was more than 300BB i suppose and i was playing tight (maybe not good as in my "A" game).

so i'd recommend about 400BB for a 8 tabling BR, since i doubt anyone will ever be as unlucky as me in my recent bad fun [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Especially for a loosing player,of course you would, most players are not winning players, if a loosing player was delt 4 times more hands, you bet your ass they would need a bigger bankroll.

[FishHooks]

Ok i just pointed that out, if you play the same number of hands, it doesnt' matter if you 4 table or 1 table. But most people that 4 table play 4 times as many hands as someone who 1 tables over the course of a month.

No




They would just lose it faster than they would have otherwise.

Also, most fish don't have bankrolls.
