Your bankroll is not a flower. It does not grow on its own.
So many people use "build my roll" to mean "have money appear in my pocket over time as I play poker". The correct term for that is "winning".
A very good 1/2 winrate is $20/hr. People who earn that much buy in for the maximum.
Because mistakes are compounded when deepstacked, and because good players profit from other players' mistakes, there is not a linear correlation between winrate and stack size. A similarly skilled 50bb player could not expect to make half as much as a 100bb player.
That ratio is skewed even further when you consider that we are talking about
net winrates, not gross winrates. You might expect to pay up to $15/hr in rake, drops and tokes. So that $20/hr winner is actually a $35/hr gross winner. Someone winning half as much is really making $2/hr after the rake.
So, if you are a very good shortstacker who makes no mistakes, you are looking at a few dollars per hour (at best). Growing a bankroll might take a while.
