400k would be a nice bankroll for 1-3. Would definitely allow me to utilize game theory optimal (GTO) against the fish. If a fish cracks my AA with 10-7off, I will, like a stoic, simply rebuy and play the math and long-term game. With a 400K bankroll and mastery of GTO, the math favors me being a winning player in the long run.
As is, as a burger flipper now making $15/hr, I get tilted every time the fish crack my premium holdings, holdings that I played perfectly according to GTO. Consequently, I proceed to drain my puny saving account by punting away a shitload of frogskins “chasing losses” against the fish. Without a sumptuous bankroll, I lack the capital to truly utilize GTO.
After a week and half away from the tables, I am about to head back to casino this morning. Out of boredom, not b/c of gambling urges.
