It definitely varies based on how the game plays/how you play... lag/tag/whatever,as well as infinite other factors---would be curious to hear dgafs opinion of say how much you need to go from playing 5/10nl (2k cap) to 10/25nl (2500 min, no cap, lets say avg stack is 5k)...assuming the 10/25 plays looser and general variance will be higher in that game
I didn't start being a reg in 10.25 until I had 100k br. Taking shots prolly starting at 40k I'd say but I also had super low living expenses (living in friends townhouse car paid off most of food comped etc no gf). Honestly games would often play bigger or smaller based off 1 or 2 guys. If you take into account today's highest non limit games imo play much bigger and are often Plo which pretty much no one is rolled for unless they are already rich or crush tourneys/big mix limit games.

Imo if I decided to play 5/10 for a living I'd be comfortable doing it with 40k. Imo the games are a bit tougher then 5 hrs ago when I was basically pro but they are also lower variance now.

Fwiw 10/25 was only going 2-3 times a week if it was 5 times a week I'd probably would have needed at least another 30k to not have to play 5/10 also. Also at the time 25/50+ went only a few times a year so I had to play those and I think most of us were underolled for that and the games were noticeably tighter.
