Default Going to try playing live 1/2 for a living....

What amount of money would you recommend I set aside as a bankroll for this purpose?

this might work better in the section for what you're talking about -

In THEORY, with big buyins, it might be possible at 1/2 NL - I doubt it though -

Nah its thoroughly doable. He could make 100 plus a day. The players stink at this limit. I mean people work for less than that at various jobs.......

true - my biggest wins have been at 1/2 NL - but then so have my swings -

but if I have 300 in the middle there, it probably started as $100 and was earned up, so that's allright -

I hope its no limit? As limit would next to useless in any western country. If it's NL you would need 2K plus a few months of living expenses........

Or, they could have meant limit, since it wasn't mentioned in the poll. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Poll kinda off since more is better obviously. People are assuming you can choose how much to start with, and that having an extra 1k or more has no drawbacks.

I voted for over 4K. I honestly don't think you can make a real living at 1/2, and I think you'll need the rest for L-I-V-I-N.
