5 card draw bankroll

[kickingit]

okay i was wondering if in Limit Hold'em u need 300x the BB with 4 rounds of betting then how much would u need for limit 5 card draw with only 2 rounds would it be 150-200?

That would do it but remember: you have to be a winning player or the biggest bankroll in the world would not suffice if you played long enough.

right but u need a starting point for when u mmove up limits that way u can handle the swings till u start crshing the games

i've beaten the paradise 5/10 game when it runs over a reasonable period - i dont have records but i would guess maybe 8,000 hands - my worst downswing was $500

i have no idea about the long term but i suspect your guess is about right

I've never run worse than -50BB in any stretch at draw.

Same here, but I've been playing for a while and know my swings.

Kickin, have you kept notes/logs? And how many hands/hours you've played, your win/loss? I don't know the formulate for calculating standard deviation, so I've been using StatKing for that.

In the end, I'd say that 100BB's is fine in Draw if you're a winning player. If you're moving up limits for the first time, or just starting to play, I'd say have the 150-200, so you don't have to play scared at all.

i think i have watched u a few time at paradise when i was checking out the level of game play there. it looked kinda soft.
