I think get how bankrolls work in general, why they're important, how it protects against variance, etc. But I can't seem to find an answer on the forums about whether your bankroll needs to be the sum of both cash games limits as well as tourneys.
Wait, that sounded confusing.... If the general rule of thumb in No Limit is that you need at a bare minimum 20 max buy-ins for cash games and at least 40 buy-ins for SnGs, do you need the sum of both if you play both kinds of games? Is your total bankroll essentially 2 separate BRs?
Let's say I had a $1000 BR. If I was only a cash player, I shouldn't play any higher than $5NL. Likewise if I only played SnGs, I shouldn't buy-in for any tourney over $25. But what if I played both fairly regularly? Would I in fact need to have $2000 to justify playing at those limits? (Or in other words, would I really need to be playing at half those limits w/ $1000 in the bank?)
