I strongly recommend you read up on bankroll management, because without proper knowledge in that area, you are almost guaranteed to fail as a poker player, no matter how strong you are in other aspects of the game. The short version, if you don't want to research it too much yourself, is that you need at the very least 500 big bets if you want to play mid- or high limit online poker.

Dude just dropped 40k at blackjack --- playing under-rolled is not his problem.

You can play with under 500 BB if you are willing to reload if you bust, as OP appears to be.

Edited for brevity.
