If someone's bankroll isn't big enough for 2/4, just stay out of a casino.

lol, that is probably sound advice. I was figuring on 300 BB's as a proper bankroll. Well, I'll be finished paying off the motorcycle soon, so then I'll be able to save up some playing money.

I don't think you need $1200 to make your first attempt at 2/4 limit poker. Take $120 and play tight. See some cheap flops with small and medium pairs, suited connectors and one-gappers, and otherwise play your big aces, and big pairs and you'll be fine. Take another $120 if you want a little more comfort.

when i plan on playing 2/4 limit live i usually bring 2500 with me cause the varaniance is just so so so soooo nuts. you never know what the guy got. i even fold aces cause they always get cracked! thats saved me so so so much money

In AC even $100 is enough to get in a 2/4 and be a factor. Ive seen people buy in for as little as $20.

Anyone seriously worrying about roll requirements for 1/2, 2/4, or 3/6 Limits should be aware of the fact that none of these games are beatable when you factor in the rake, tips, etc.

Agreed. My first half-dozen or so casino sessions were 2/4 limit and I never needed more than my first $120.
