really, all bankroll management does is protect you "with 95% confidence" blah blah blah. even with that, 1 in 20 will fail. from your point of view, it appears that at low stakes you're fine with a 80% confidence, and that's ok. others prefer 99%, which is where this 50 BI bankroll recommendation is from.

it really comes down to what you're comfortable with. it doesn't matter what others tell you. if you don't feel comfortable playing with a 20 BI bankroll, it's going to affect your play. if you're TOO comfortable, that will affect your play too.
