$1.25/hand* 300 hands/hour * 3 hours = $1125. So you could bring $1,200 and literally not go broke. Factoring in expected wins, I would think somewhere between $300 and $500 would do it.

NOTE: you control the hands/hour. Adjust from my estimate as necessary.

But if it's got five lines, that quintuples it. Although you'll win, what, every third line? Figure a grand ought to survive unless you have a real nightmare of a session. The royal will only get you a grand, anyway.
The trick to poker is learning not to beat yourself up for your mistakes too much, and certainly not too little, but just the right amount.

Hard to say...I play $1 Single-Line 9/6 JoB to put in my play session, and I use a bankroll of $800 and I play $10k coin in (2000 hands). I've gotten close to broke then hit a few quads to bring me back...I think like average I've lost $100-$200 real money (But for $10k even playing badly I'll lose $100 expected)

As much as you can afford; 99.54% is less than 100%, so eventually you'll lose it all.

Odds are great when you hit the Royal to make the numbers work, but you can go months without it hitting.

FYI to OP and others, 58.5024 represents the SD for a given deal of 5 hands in quarters. This is different from how the WOO calculates multi-line SD and initially threw me off. :(
