Re: Bankroll Requirements
As always, it depends on a lot of things:
Is this going to be a living or just a (hopefully) profitable hobby?
How good are you? How succesptable to variance is your style of play? (If you are a good lag, your variance is going to be much higher than if you are tighter, though it will be high there, too.)
What stakes? (This is really a flavor of EV and STD, which is directly above with other phrasing)
Can you (honestly) stick to a plan to drop down if your bankroll drops? (A lot of people can just not do it, and a lot of people, like me, can but a bit after when they tell themselves they would. People who can do it like a machine are few and far between).
Gotta go to lunch, but if it is a hobby and you can drop down you can play on 10-20 buy ins at the low levels, but that number should ramp up considerably as you move up (like 50ish at 5/10 I would say, again IF you can drop down as needed).
