So by that logic a MTT bankroll for $500 buy-ins should be like $100,000(!) from the articles I'm reading on proper bankroll management. I do want to become a winning player (lol) and eventually have poker pay for poker.
those articles are wrong, you need way more than 200 avarage buy in for mtts, so it is closer to 500k$ (1000 avarage buy ins). However, those requirements are for pros. Since you dont play the game for a living, you dont need a bankroll, you need a budget. Just spend whatever you can comfortably afford losing on buyins and worry about strategy instead.
