Is $120k enough to see if I belong at that level or do I need to give myself more room?

Do you have a job?

If yes, you don’t need that much.

If no, $120k is good.

I think that there’s a point where you gotta reconsider what level you should be playing. This is probably somewhere between 400 and 600 big bets imo. 1k big bet downswings should be rare to the effect that you’re probably not good enough for the level if you’re down 600+ big bets.

$20/40 and $40/80 very beatable at commerce.

For people who post this question, probably the less you have, the better.

All I can tell you is I played in that game for a half hour with the some of the winningest players in online poker history and realized I belong in 40. Poker isn't about waving diks it's about winning chips. You want my advice, put 30k in Amazon and use the rest to play 40 with, or even 20 when the 40 game is bad.

120k is enough.

Especially if you're comfortable playing HUHU to 3-6 handed must move during 3am - 6am during major events.

Seems a bit agressive. Closer to a 40/80 roll. If you go on a 30k downswing will you play lower? Feel under pressure?

40k because you shouldnt be playing 60 as a sole source of income in la. Its too small.
