Hmm its very strange for me to hear ppl saying that you can have too big a bankroll for the level that just seems silly to me. If you are playing professionally I dont you ever want to be in a spot where dropping 20% of your bankroll is an expected event. And if you play a lot of HU sngs I guarantee this will happen to you sometime in your next 10k matches. But I will modify my opinion, I dont think you necessarily need 100 buyins for the level your at (although I can in no way see this hurting you) but I think you need 100 buyins for the lowest level you can make your living at.

I think a lot of the advice is very impatient in this thread, think about your long term plans is spending another month at a lower limit really that bad? I plan on being here for another 5 years at least, a month is a drop in the bucket however if you play too aggressively for your bankroll and psychological comfort you could easily cost yourself several months in the time it costs to rebuild and in the long run that could add up to tens of thousands of dollars. Goal number one is to always protect your bankroll, after that, then you can worry about trying to make the most money.

It's really about personal preference and utility. If you have other sources of income and winning $10/hour doesn't mean much to you, but you are great at HU sngs, option 3 might be the best for you.

If you have no other source of income and can live off of $10/hour than you shouldn't risk busting with option 3. You might play somewhere between #2 and #1.

Psychological comfort is also an important consideration when choosing a BR management ruleset. If losing and moving down affects your psyche poorly then you need to have a lot of buyins in your BR.

Being a professional entails getting your ROR as low as you possibly can. But you can still move up fairly aggressively if you are also willing to move down aggressively. A lot of people can't handle that so they should play conservatively.
