If you're able to drop in limits as your bankroll is depleted from swings, you dont need all that much.

If you're relying on poker as a source of income though, splitting your hourly rate in half usually sucks ass - so yeah, you definitely want more than 300BB's.

You also are going to want to manage your money outside of your bankroll.

That is to say, keep surpluses from your winnings in a separate account to pay for bills in periods when you hit the downswing, so that you wont have to remove it from your bankroll safety net.

You'll experience a lot less anxiety this way.


A good rule is to keep a few months worth of living expenses off to the side at any given time.
