Re: 1-3NLHE MAX $200, worth it?
[ QUOTE ]
I advise to most always buy-in for the MAXIMUM allowed.

Short-buying in this game with a short roll is not a horrible decision. As long as the OP makes proper adjustments for stack sizes when making strategic decisions, then the hourly rate does not suffer as much as you would suspect (although it certainly does suffer). With OP's b-roll situation, I'd say that buying in short for $100 and playing a good short stack strategy at Limelight (or Lucky Derby's 2/5 200 max game) is the best way to build the roll quickly and with a reasonable risk of ruin given the roll and games available. OP also said that NL is his preferred game. Yes, with a proper bankroll then I agree, buying in full is preferred in most situations. This is not one of those times.
