I have access to a 10k line of credit that I'm not including in my roll. That would prevent me from having to get a real job, but would require a certain amount of emotional distress to use.

What ROR should I assign to my bankroll when making gambling decisions?

I'm 24 with no dependents and not a ton of assets. I don't want to go broke.

Specifically should I be looking at making a 0.1% chance of busting or a 0.01% chance?

Is there some rule of thumb that you guys use?

Yes, poker is a hobby not a way to make a living. Also, you should never be gambling with borrowed money! Even if you grind out a living do you really want to waste your youth playing endless hours of poker? There is more money and more fun to be had trying to make a real living.
