Call me crazy but I started at 25NL and didn't move up to 50NL until I had about 50-60 buyins. This is what I plan on doing for each level. 50-60 buyins almost ensures that I won't go busto.

It also ensures that you will make money much more slowly. 30x is fine, I'm in college too

I've just moved up to 200NL (this week) and my roll was about 7K at that time. Thats 35 buy-ins which seems to be enough indeed. I don't like people moving up when they have 10 buy-ins (especially if you play SH) but to each his own.

I partly agree with this, but I also think it's good to take shots here and there. Before I depleted my bankroll for my Vegas trip in March, I was sitting on about $1200 and playing NL50. I decided to try mixing in 1 or 2 tables of NL100. Well I played really well and added more tables with the plan of moving back to NL50 if I dipped below $1000. That allowed me to (for the time being) get the bankroll to be fully rolled at NL100.
The funny thing is that I'm in the same boat again, recovering my bankroll after losing it in Vegas [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
