bankroll question

im assuming that since we all really play one long lifetime session it doesnt really matter what we use for a "session" bankroll as long as i have enough to last my trip duration and most importantly are placing bets within the framework of a particular bankroll and betting scheme.i guess what im really asking is if i place the correct bets for a 10000 bank does it really matter if i actually have only 2500 at the time as long as i continue to play correctly and replinish br if and when that 2500 is lost....thnxx in adavnce

it depends on how much downtime you are talking about. If it takes you ten years to come up with the next installment to your bank when you go bust then it is probably not a good idea. The problem of the occasionally replentished bank and optimal betting to it has come up many times and a perfect solution has not been put forward. I would suggest not sizing to your lifetime of contributions but to your contributions during some shorter period.

whooper,

Below is a link to a thread on Beginner BJ regarding bankroll requirements for a Lifetime versus one that could be replenished.

The key is to be very very honest with yourself about having the discipline to be able to actually add funds as bigplayer suggests and not become disheartened if you lose your initial bankroll.

Whenever I tell the TRUE story of how you tried to convince your 2 unwitting traveling companions that Donna's Ranch was really a casino with beatable BJ games inside.:-)
