    Of course, the size if bankroll is relavent to the extent that you are playing with different ror's. 5% and less is more like it.
    I was talking about the op wanting his max bet to be 2% of his BR. 16 max bets of the initial 2% bets is 32% of his bankroll.

    I personally usually play with a RoR closer to 1%. My max is about 0.5% of my BR. Some of my sims have 1% of my BR for a max bet being around full Kelly. I think 2% is too much and not good BR management. It is most likely more than full Kelly.
