Honestly there is no rule of how many BI's you need. If you feel comfortable with the swings at the next limit play it.

I think the 20 buyin rule is based on risk of ruin statistics for a certain win/rate and standard deviation. You can always deviate from it like you want, it just changes your risk of ruin (assuming you can't reload).
