I did state that, and besides I'm not talking bout some icm push fest. I'm talking bout day 1 of the main event strategy. But yeah your take on poker is not as serious as mine. So I would expect you to talk about some online push fest.

Typical internet dude.

Easy grasshopper in any way or form in my comments did I say anything about push fest???? Btw now that you've somewhat.narrowed down what you are referring to we are getting somewhere...there are many types of tournanets structures payouts fields rebuys turbos bountys shootouts freezeouts etc that influence tournament play...that's why I say you can not.give a general standpoint on your proclamation. I suspect we are detouring from the subject at hand...

And I'm glad your taking poker seriously you get a star for the day sweetheart.

I should.probably block you like the rest of the forum.

Anyone losing more than 5 buyins at 2-5 or 1-2 should quit, the edges are so high that even if you are constantly running bad you should still be making profit.

losing 5 buyins weekly or total what do you mean by this? a bad run can eat 5 buyins fast,no?

if you are playing 2/5 how much do you bring per session @ casino 1000$ or more?

at 2-5 it depends on how much you buyin for, obviously the more you buyin for the chances are less that you will lose that buyin, where im from the max is $1500. For 1-2 its usually $200.

If youre talking a segregated bankroll, this is beyond absurd.

if you go down 10K playing 2/5 you either suck at game selection or you suck at poker. it isnt a bankroll issue.

None of these three simulated winner players would agree with you.

they agree with me.. For any of these three players, a 5Bi starting roll would be sufficient, provided it was segregated. also, i think your bb/100 is way low. so at 1/2 youre simulating a $3/hr-$5/hr expectation winner.

Mr. Red goes through a 25 buy-in downswing, but still meets his winning expectation.

Anyway, here is another simulation with 10bb/100...

All four expect Green hit a -10 buy-in downswing.

there is a difference between having a 25 BI downswing and passing through -25BI.

Id honestly like to see how many trials you would have to do to get a sample that passed through -10 BI (and thus would bust a 10BI bankroll)

also, i dont see how this is a derail -- if this isnt on the topic of the thread i dont see what is.

Okay, here is a trial of 50 players each with a 10bb win-rate. Of the 50 players only one would have busted a 10-buy-in starting roll. Actually that player would have come close to busting a 15 buy-in starting roll.

A few players came very close to busting a 5-buy-in starting roll. It looks like 6 players, or about 12%.

So if 50 players started with the roll you selected (10 buy-ins), and all of them were winning players, all of them except about 1 would never go bust.

At 2% chance of failure.

To the other poster who suggested 5-buy-ins, about 12% of winning players will go bust with that.

As an example, i plotted 1000 graphs at 10bb/100 and 80/100 sd

i got this



the two absolute worst runs pass through about -2Kbbs or about 20 100bb BIs. That is to say, .2 percent of the sample.

Including those, it looks like about 5 or 6 reach -1000 BBs, or about half a percent.

It does look like between 2 and 4 or, about ~0.3% will bust a 20-buy-in starting roll.

The graph is way to compressed to view the number of 10-buy-in bustos. I'd still estimate it to be about 2%.

Nice graphs and everything but theres not a lot of variance with live play... Especially if you nut peddle and rareley bluff (only in +++EV spots). I aggree with myself but i would like to hear what seasoned pros say.

personally, i think the numbers in the graphs way underestimate winrate (you have to think, 10bbs/100 at 1-2 is like what 7 bucks an hour) and overestimate variance (because the SD/100 is typical of online games)

as an example, look what happens when we put the winrate at 15bb/100


that said, even if we use those numbers and the idea that 2% will bust a 10bi roll, I think the statement

"You need a 10BI roll or more to play" is very different from the statement "If you have less than a 10BI roll, there is a 2% chance you will bust it even if you have a positive expectation"

The odds playing of 1,000,000 hands and doing both of the following:
  1. being a 10bb/100 winner, and
  2. not going on a 3.5 buy-in downswing.
must be astronomical.


How many hands do you think you have played over this time?

I've burnt through 10 in a night, live. I survived a 120bi downswing live and online combined.

Now its not like I'm good or anything, and that's definitely atypical, but with all due respect if your largest downswing is 3bi, no, you have not run bad yet.

Of course im talking about if you play near perfect poker... Of course if you have leaks then i can see more than 5 buyins.
