Opinions?
Take what you consider a reasonable minimum bankroll for 1/3 using conservative guidelines. You can consider taking shots at a higher stake using the money in your bankroll that is over that minimum.
I'm giving some rather nitty advice for bankroll management. I'm not opposed to embracing more risk in taking shots- that's up to you- but I can give you what I think is probably the minimum necessary to take shots without being insanely overly cautious.
If you need thirty 100BB buy-ins at 1/3 to feel super comfortable, that's $9000, so $10500 would be enough to have three 100BB buyins at 2/5.
