I buy in for the largest amount that will not make people look at me and think "hey, that's a lot of chips". At my card room, that's $200 at 6/12 and $100 at 3/6. In either case if I lose 60% of it, I add on, and proceed from there.

I usually buy in for one rack (e.g. $500 for a 5/10 game), with enough in my pocket for another rack. I've never had anyone even bat an eye at this amount.

To the OP: Since you are talking about limit poker, and low limit at that, no one cares or will be able to adjust their play to whatever you buy in for. In other words, IT DOESN'T MATTER. Buy in for what you are comfortable, and just insure that you always have at least 12BB in front of you at the start of the hand.
