most makeup i ever had was approximately 75k, but then i won the 2nd chance and bought out
being in deep makeup is the nut worst when you have money/means to play cashgames on your own. motivation/effort/guilt all turn for the worse.
i play everything on my own now, though I do sell action for bigger stuff. kelly criterion dictates my life now, and while it will probably keep me from hitting a 500k bankroll anytime soon thanks to taxes, I estimate I will never need to be backed or anything like that again. baby steps ftw.

I'd set the line at around 20%. Strict game selection can benefit certain people at 2/4 sixmax. eg playing on other networks or only finding really soft games.
if your definition of 400nl 6max means opening up six random tables on stars or fulltilt, then yeah 10% is about right i think.

also for people saying seabeast is too harsh, i disagree. there was a stretch where seabeast almost went online busto in tournaments (from reading his blog), just completely whiffing everything, so I think he has a decent idea as to how the mtt variance game works.
