What's the next one up? Times two. Round up to the next limit. Since it's .5BB/hr either way, I'll choose live play. The calculation is something like this:

What limit am I bankrolled for?

What’s the next one up?

Times two.

Round up to the next limit.

Since it’s .5BB/hr either way, I’ll choose live play.

That's different for everyone, obviously, both in terms of time away from steady employment and time away from family. For me to do something like this in lieu of a job, I would have to be playing 75/150. I'll never be a profitable player at that level, however. If it were a second job I was doing that didn't impact my family too much, perhaps 40/80. .5BB/hr just isn't enough to justify playing at the lower levels where I might stand a chance. YMMV.
