Squamch 0 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 You guys are harsh.If you're in a long slump, I think the best thing to do is just take an extended period of time off so you can start thinking straight about the game again. Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't ride out the bad runs, you don't have what it takes to play the game in the long run.Just go play blackjack for a while, then see how you feel. Link to post Share on other sites

KDawgCometh 2 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 New question. What size of a bankroll would all of you want to have before you started playing full time?stakes? PLO, O8, Stud, NL, or LHE? short handed or Full ring? you have to give more specifics Link to post Share on other sites
ontheriver 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 stakes? PLO, O8, Stud, NL, or LHE? short handed or Full ring? you have to give more specificsMore of a general question. But if you wanted to start making a living playing cards, what bankroll would you want. I guess you could answer by saying the amount and what level games you'd play to make a decent living.

Sluggo 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 It depends on two variables: your winrate and variance. The bankroll formula isbankroll = (variance ^ 2)/(win rate * 2)*ln(risk of ruin)If you're going pro, remember to subtract expenses from win rate. Link to post Share on other sites
