Mm question to players who have been playing poker on online platforms for a long time. What bankroll do I need to have to play for big money? When playing MTT Tournaments with a small bankroll do you play big tournaments or with lower stakes?

Not sure exactly what the question is, but generally having 200 x the mtt buy in is generally accepted as the norm. But you would need to take into account the players ROI and mtt entrants. So maybe use 100 x on smaller 200 person or less mtts and 300x on 1000 entrant mtts as generally the big money is in the top 3 places.

Define "big money" and define the stakes of your games and how willing you are to lose your entire bankroll. On that topic, the legendary Daniel Negreanu answered your exact question years ago in this video here:
