Hi all! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Just wondering your all's thoughts on Chris Ferguson's bankroll Management outlines he used in a 2 year 0 to $10,000 challenge.
* 50 buy ins for mtts (2% max buy in)
* 20 buy ins for cash games and SnGs.

This seems a bit risky to me, however I feel there are several considerations:
1. This was used with a starting balance of 0, therefore "nothing to lose". However, Chris advised this was just as useful for high stakes players as well.
2. This advocates aggressively moving up AND down, which seems to make it a bit more sensible.

Please share your thoughts!! TY !!!

Hw got it from finance, where a rule of thumb is to never risk more than 2% on a single trade.

I think it is a fairly standard bankroll approach. It adjusts well for downswings and variance.

However maybe he should have practiced his own advice when it came to running Full Tilt.

Along these lines, does anyone know if you need to increase your buy-in minimum requirements for cash games if you consistently multi-table? I remember reading somewhere that since you're technically risking more at the same time, there's going to be more variance as well.

(Btw, I'm not talking about the negative possible impact it might have on your game because you should be focusing on fewer tables. I realize that's a important factor too, but for different reasons.)
