How much is the bare minimum you guys would have as a buffer on the bank if you made your living of poker? I'm having a hard time estimating how much I should put away, not that I am overflowing with money right now but anyway.

The usual advice is 3-6 months, and I think that's about right. If you drop below three months worth, I would prioritise your poker to pay that back up to six, then look to bankroll build etc/spend money on fun stuff.

It REALLY helps your peace of mind to know you don't have to play next week if you don't want to. That kind of protection is invaluable when it comes to playing poker for a living.
