From probability's point of view, there's no difference whether you play eight sessions with one table or one session with eight tables. Multitabling doesn't increase your volatility. So you still only need 30BIs. |
This. However, you must factor in the likelihood of your winrate dropping as the number of tables you play increase. If you are playing BE poker with 2 tables, you are very likely to play a losing game with 10 tables open. So, if that's the case you obviously need to either drop stakes or drop tables. If you play a very high variance game to begin with, adding tables is likely to increase that variance, and therefore you may want a few more buyins. However, 30 buyins is plenty assuming you have the discipline to drop down when needed, along with doing the necessary things to improve your game also.
