Change in bankroll size for playing multiple tables
If I am playing 2-4 limit hold-em at party, tradition dictates a $1200 bankroll. Does that change if I am playing 4 tables simultaneously, assuming I can stil maintain a win rate of 1-bb / hr?

Re: Change in bankroll size for playing multiple tables
Actually if u can multi-table well, it will even help u reduce your variance, cause you will be able to compensate faster and stay at the tables most favorable to you.
The only problem is if u steam. Then u may play badly at all tables, ruining your day.

This is not true. Your hourly variance will most definitely increase playing multiple tables. However, assuming your winrate does not decrease multi-tabling, your bankroll requirements don't go up unless you play so many that you'll need more than your usual br for possible reloads. E.g. a player who has a 400 BB bankroll who wants to play 8 tables is going to need a larger bankroll. GoT

You're wrong. I'm right. Not close. GoT

Re: Change in bankroll size for playing multiple tables
Okay. Explain?
More hands per hour = higher hourly variance. Not that hard to understand, nor is it debateable in any way, so I don't really feel like debating it. GoT

Re: Change in bankroll size for playing multiple tables
Here is a point to illustrate the truth, lets say you flip a coin heads you win, tails you lose. If you flip it 4 times in 1 hour, it is a lot easier for it to be drastically more tails than if you flip it 16 times in an hour. As the number increases the variance decreases, had you played 400 hands total in 1 day on 4 different tables, or 400 hands in 4 days on only 1 table, they require the exact same bankroll and have the exact same variance. # of hands played is the only variable in determining variance.
