    If you're planning on playing exclusively HU this would prob be a good starting point, but I'd rather have more to be safe. I guess it depends on your style. Personally, my worst HU downswing was 23 buyins <knock on wood>.

    Sounds about right. But this would be for someone who is planning on grinding these games seriously. If you're just a semi-serious/for fun player or w/e you can pretty much play with whatever you want if you have a steady job or something. It's all about your goals and what you want to do.
