Default Re: How much to buy-in for

I see many of us buying in for at least 20BB, some buy-in for 25BB or between 30-40BB (is this necessary at the micro-limits?). So at what point am I reloading, when I get below 16BB? At the $0.10/$0.25 table I play at, I typically buy-in for $5.00 (20BB). Should I be buying in for $6.00 and if I drop below $4.00 (16BB) reload back to $6.00? Most of the donks I play against come to the table with $2.00 or $3.00.

I have only had to reload three times so far out of 1,600 hands, but I typically reload when I get under 10BB instead of waiting until I get stacked. The reason I do this is because if I only have 5-6 BB in my stack and I get a monster, I don't want to be all-in by 5th or 6th street and still have people willing to chase draws or call with worse hands to the end.
