Variance/Bankroll requirements, Poker_AJ, 4. Aug 2003 02:51
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
OK, here's the thing. I am wondering if it's possible someone can give me a little help on understanding the meaning of bankroll requirements. Everybody says that you should have at least 200-300 big bets plus a 5-6 months' supply for your living expenses before thinking of going pro. Although I fully agree with that number, I am still curious if someone could explain me how bad I could be running even by playing moderately well and still lose. How much is a possible swing per hour and how many hours could I go badly? If this continues, however, even 300 big bets is a really small bankroll in my eyes. Can someone help?
