IMO 5-10K is low to be bankrolled to play 2/5. I think a more adequate number if you plan on buying in at max(500) would be something like $20-30,000. Keep in mind, variance is a bitch, 5K will get you nowhere if you hit a bad run. Also, if you see any players soft playing one another, ask to move to another table immediately. If none are open, sit out until one opens or drop down in stakes. Better yet, get the omaha list going.
10k is more than adaquate to take shots.
If you need to have 20-30k roll for 2/5 what kind of roll do you think you need to play 5/5 or 5/10?
I know these numbers are subjective. I never asked if he was using this money to pay bills, which changes the equation.
I don't use my BR for anything other than poker.
