You might want to look at a site like:

which is (apparently) frequented by people who are in the business.

Another good thing to look at would be the Kelly criteron Risk of Ruin calculations. You can figure out an acceptable risk of ruin (i.e. risk of bank bust) and then calculate the appropriate limit or bankroll for your table.
