bank roll requirements 2/5 NL at San Manuel in Southern California

[eof]

i've switched to NL recently from dinky stakes limit (1/2 and 2/4) and have done really well at full table NL1 at pokerroom and then 6 handed NL1 on tribeca. running about 15PTBB/100 over 15k hands between the two. Running well for sure, but I feel very confident that its not a fluke (although i don't expect that high of a longterm win rate)

I am in vermont where we don't have any legal live games around (well less than a few hours live), and I am going to california for about a month and a half and I will be about 5 minutes from san manuel, where they just started spreading NL within like the last 8 months. I know two people destroying that game, my father and his friend.

Its a 2/5 NL with 100 min 300 max buy in, and I have watched the game before and as probably expected for the most part its uber soft. I have no doubts about being able to beat it in the long run.

My question is this: if i start with min buying (100) would a BR of 1k be pretty safe? I think it would.. very quickly i'd like to be buying in full, but the risk/ruin is definitely too high on the 2.5k BR i have right now. I want to leave as much as possible online.. although i could probably take 1500 to california (and obviously pull out whatever is left if need be) and be fine.

dont play with a 2.5k roll. Youll go broke. You are basically ratholing in a public casino, so your plan wont work. just dont play.

IME, games like this have a lot of variance, and with only a $100 buy-in you aren't going to have a lot of post flop room. You might well run out of BR before you run out of variance...

oh i don't plan on ratholing

if you're good enough, and your dad is "killing the game" then can you get him to stake you for half or something?

The NL1 you've been playing on PR, is that NL100 or NL1K?
I'm assuming it's NL100 or you'd obv. have a much larger BR.

Why do you want to leave as much online as possible?

The variance in live games can be wild, and the blind structure is such these games play differently than online.

I suppose if you ratholed these games with a $100 buy in, 1.5K would suffice until you won about 10 buyins or so, then you could buy in for $200, and repeat the process.

Although I'd feel much much comfortable with a larger role here, 3K minimum, if I'm short rolled I might not play as well for pyschology reasons, worried about losing my roll etc.

I would post this in the SSNL forum as well.
Also you say you don't want to rat hole, but then said in your OP about buying in for the minimum (100), what gives?
