You need more starting bankroll than I would have, as well. You could get shut down on your first set of cards at your first place. If you want to do a midscale operation, I'd think you'd need a bankroll of about 50k-100k to even contemplate starting a midscale operation relatively safely. You'd also have to spread out to different markets with that. You'd also have to be extremely conservative in how you're running the initial coin-in and would also need to know some target numbers, in advance. 50k-100k is not enough to go around having to test tiers without knowing already. Maybe 100k is.
