I know a few live pros who grind $1/2 at the casinos and make about $15/hr but never move up. Ugh, no thanks.

There's no set rules, it's what you're comfortable with, but the fact that you're even asking this question leads me to believe you have no business doing so. But it's you're life though, do what you want.

50BIs for live 1kNL? lolwtf if your beating 1/2 online(Stars,FTP or Party) you're not going to need 50BIs for 1kNL live.
