Message: [QUOTE="Chris_TC, post: 1065813, member: 19538"] I'd start by dividing the year into 250 work days. This means you'd have to win $200 per day. From there, it's a question of volume, stakes and winrate. [B] $200 = (H * 2B * W)/100[/B] where [B]H[/B] is [I]Hands per Day[/I] [B]B[/B] is [I]One Big Blind in $[/I] [B]W[/B] is [I]Winrate in ptBB[/I] Let's say you can play 3500 hands per day. H = 3500 Now let's assume that your maximum winrate is 2 ptBB. W = 2 [B]$200 = (3500 * 2B * 2)/100 B = ($200*100)/(3,500*2*2) B = $40,000/14,000 [U]B = $2.86[/U] [/B]Based on these assumptions, one big blind would have to be [U][I]at least[/I][/U] $2.86 (remember, we assumed a winrate no higher than 2 ptBB). If you were to play an even mix between $1/$2 and $2/$4, you'd be pretty close to a big blind amount of $3. As a professional, you'll want at least 40 buy-ins, so you'd need a bankroll of at least [U][B]$12,000[/B][/U]. The numbers obviously change if you change the variables. [/QUOTE]
