Say you are playing 5/10 and you have a $10,000 bankroll. Say you need to clear 3000 a month, minimum

$10k bankroll is insufficient for 5/10 and $3k monthly-nut.


2 months expenses (the minimum of what you should have in reserve) is $6k and that only leaves you 400BB for 5/10.
A nice 150BB+ down-swing is something you will REALLY feel and probably stress-about a lot. And such a down-swing will happen eventually (and probably when you are least likely to be able to tolerate it).

Seriously...I don't think I would put myself in such a situation (5/10, $10k roll, $3k/mth expenses) as you're just playing too short.


If I HAD to keep playing even with a $10k roll while oweing $3k/mth I would probably grind it out at 3/6 really hard (thank you rake-back and bonuses) and would feel more comfortable at 10/20 once I built my total up to $15k (which could take a little while since the first $3k that you earn each month goes right to expenses).


I would be more comfortable doing 5/10 on only $10k if I could cut my expenses down to $2k/mth for a stretch.
But even this almost feels thinnish to me (but probably isn't TOO dangerous).
