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.

    That is what I would be comfortable with. There's nothing wrong with being a bankroll nit when you're playing to put food on the table. Plus, the added cushion will allow for shots at bigger games when a whale happens to walk in the door and wants to gambool it up.

    But, ok whatever you say then.
