What kind of bankroll should I have to play .25 full pay Pick'Em Poker
say 3-4 hours once a week.
Pick'em Poker Bankroll
It's not clear whether you are asking:
1. How much do you need to bring for a 3-4 hour session. or,
2. How much do you need to have for week-after-week of 3-4 hour
sessions.
For a single 2000-hand session, $400 will suffice more than 99.5%% of
the time.
For a full year playing 2000 hands/week, $3000 will suffice 97% of the
time. Your expected loss is just $61, but at the end of the year you
will find yourself more than $1200 behind 23% of the time.
This assumes near perfect play, no cashback, and no tips.
The longer you play, the more bankroll you will need, because without
cashback this is a negative ev game.
