I 8 tabled last night after losing several SnG buy-ins.. I usually play limit when I'm running bad in SnG games.

I know 300 BB is generally recommended for full ring limit game.
Is this true for multi-tabling (6 to 8 tables) as well?

I tried 8 tabling last night and I managed 1.5 BB/100. I didn't run that well, lost majority of AA's and KK's but didn't run too bad on the other hands.

I was surprised to see that I was able to handle 8 tabling, and plan to play more frequently when I dont feel like playing SnG's.

Just want some advice from ppl who multi-table limit games frequently.

PS: I'm talking about full ring, not short-handed.. sick of variance in short-handed limit.

Thanks

Mah! One of my favorite topics....

My numbers have shown that my Standard Deviation per 100 hands goes down with each additional table I add. Probably due to a reduction in FPS that seems to strike me when I get bored.

300bb is based on a winning player that has a WR of 3bb/100 and a SD of 20bb/100. Using the bankroll equation (bad streaks and profiatble tables) you can figure out your BR reqs by pluggng that in. Mine jumps between 180-210 bb because of my slightly higher WR and lower SD, but I still try to play within the 300 bb bubbles for added safety. But as I said my BR reqs slowly decrease with each table I add ( to a point), and I have actually reached a point (usually 8 tables) That my bankroll reqs are LESS than the total amount needed to actually buy-in to the games (30 bb buy-in).

I don't make any BR adjustments because of this, but I possible could. It's just a neat thing I noticed. I stay within the prescribed limits of my BR to give an added safety margin. Playing with this added safety allows me to stay at my current level if I get slammed with a bad run, whereas pushing the edge would force me to step down to stay safe. That though is a personal choice.

What does SD stand for? I'm looking at my PT and I see
Went to SD % (29.04)
Won $ at SD % (63.31).

I'm assuming it's the first one?
Thanks

SD is standard deviation normallly

Went to SD or Won $ at SD SD=showdown.

Why is variance so different short handed to full ring?

Just wondering, personally i prefer short handed.

for Standard Deviation, An upper limit of 25 i thik would be high enough. 20 is healthy, 15 is probably pushing too good, since that means you are starting to pass on marginal situations that are long term +EV. Ideally if you could have a WR of like 4/100 with a SD of 0, that would be great. But that would mean it's not poker, its a desk job. (Side note, if anybody gets ambitious, wonder how pro poker players SD compares to, say, Commission based sales, like yacht sales or real estate.)
