Exactly the points I made. I was saying you should have at least that much. Pros say you should have more. Mattew Hilger who wrote that book, states you should have about $500 to be at .50/1, and $800 to be at 1/2. Again this may be very conservative but, this will basically eliminate the risk of losing your entire bankroll to a terrible downswing at the outset of moving up a level. I waited until I could consolidate $400 until I moved up to 1/2. I think you should have at least 3 stacks (or buy-ins), in your total bankroll, before you move up. As you say, TP this may not even be enough for SD, but I think it is realistic seeing how much we all want to move up as quickly as possible. And the point of buying into a 1/2 game as 'amazing', and you would be laughed at in a casino for this, is just stupid. This is absolutely standard, so Aeq, you lost me here. Little too much booze Thursday night? What would you buy into a 1/2 game for? $7 because you could never possibly lose like all the bad players out there. Cmon now Aeq., get a grip.
