How should a player adjust their bankroll requirements if they decide to play 'Heads-Up' cash games instead of 6-max?

1. They should only play with money they have won in 6-max games.
2. They should increase their bankroll because variance (σ) is significantly higher in heads-up play.
3. They should decrease their bankroll because there are fewer opponents to lose to. (under this line)
4. They should keep it the same since the buy-in size is the same.
