Re: Bank Roll question for mid/high stakes NLHE
We're talking about going pro here, Rococo. I don't think the risk of dropping 50-buy-ins is the real issue here. You want to have enough behind you to be financially safe if you go on a bad run unable to win anything for a while. You won't have to move down stakes for a long time.
Next, it's quite possible to lose 10-15 buy-ins on a very bad streak. The likelihood is low, but with matters like this it should certainly be considered. With 30 buy-ins, that's disastrous. With 50, it's manageable. Huge difference there. It's alla bout the seriousness of the situation. If you have a 60-40 on your money in one NL hand, you'll always take it. If you have a 60-40 on getting getting a load of money against getting shot in the head, I doubt you'll participate.
