Suitable bankroll for internet LO/8 games?

[HailThief]

Planning on playing 2/4 levels with a roll of 1000$.Is that generally enough to cover downswings in LO8? The variance is lower in split games, I know, so the normal 300bb roll recommended for holdem is smaller when playin LO8, right?

I read from some site that even 50bb would be enough if you're a good player but that sounds kinda too good to be true.

Ideally, you need to know your winrate, variance (or standard deviation), and acceptable risk or ruin in order to answer this question.
50BB isn't sufficient though. I've had two 80+ BB downswings in the 10K hands of LO8 I've played; of course I may not qualify as 'good' but 50BB sounds pretty light to me.

So many variables.

Have you played & been successful online at lower limits?

How many tables do you plan to play at once?

How many hours a week do you plan to play?

How many hands of real money LO8 would you estimate you have played in your life?

6max versus full whould also have a pretty big difference in my mind as well.

I think 150-200 big bets is plenty for full ring at the 2/4 level if you are solid. probably closer to 300 BB for 6 max (I had a lot of ups and downs when playing 6 max that drove me crazy)

*Note: I haven't been playing much since funding became a minor-major pain.
