Buy ins for Plo5 Cash Game

Hi everyone, Small question for the specialists of Plo4 and Plo5 because strangely I haven't found an answer to this question anywhere.

Given that the buy-in ratio for a given cash game limit between NLHE and Plo 4 is 2 (e.g. for 100 buy-ins in NL50, you would need 200 in Plo50), what is the buy-in ratio between Plo4 and plo5 since the variance is higher in Plo5? Is it 2 too, 1.5?

The only answers I could get are that the standard deviation of the Plo5 is about 1.5 times higher than the Plo4, can we transfer it to the number of buy-ins?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

The answer is w/e you are comfortable with.
If you have an income source outside of poker and can easily reload $ to your roll if you lose it I would suggest being very aggressive with your roll at 1st. If not you need to be much more conservative.
