Bankroll Requirements

Unless you have a high paying job it is pretty hard to rebuild a bankroll for 5/10 or higher. If poker makes up 50% of your income, then the risk of taking shots at games you are underrolled to play is significant, regardless of what others here say. I'm sure some of you will call me a nit, and that's fine, but I simply disagree.

It is not hard to rebuild a BR for 5/10, with bonus and rakeback it shouldnt take too recover the 500 you may lose taking a shot at 10/20. Someone who plays 50/100 taking a shot at 100/200 is a lot different then someone who playes 1/2 taking a shot at 2/4 or someone who plays 5/10 taking a shot at 10/20. I think you draw the line on where it becomes a big deal to lose the money a little too low.

I made a lot of money following one particular manic to the 10/20's a couple months ago even though I was not Bankrolled for it, the risk v. reward was too tempting to not take a shot. I know that Roland, Beer and LStream also miss this manic very much...
