Is there a program (online or computer) that can run a number of hands (and play perfect strategy) and tell you what kind of bankroll you need? I think this would be helpful where you get cash back for earning a certain # of points in post card offers. I have bob dancer's winpoker 6 but I don't think my program can do this.

In Video Poker for Winners, go to Analyze > Bankroll from within a game. Select how many hands you would like to play and enter a starting bankroll. you will see a simulation of the range and likelihood of possible outcomes, including going broke or reaching a certain win goal.For instance, you could say you want to play 500 rounds of single play 9/6 DDB, with a starting bankroll of $200, playing quarters, with a win (stop) goal of +$100. You would reach your win goal ($300 total) about 25% of the time and there are a whole range of other outcomes with their likelihood, right down to going broke, which would happen about 2% of the time in the 500 hands.You could of course calculate this for any assortment of pay tables, bank roll, win goal, or quantity of hands.

webman,
Can't get Video Poker for Winners in Mac version. So is there another way for me to calculate amount I need especially since I like to play 3 play/ quarters (8/5 DDB & 8/5 JOB)? Any links would be appreciated.
