Default BR: 100 buyins, even at $11 SNG?

Hi there.
Have read the faq, and the advice about a 100 buyin bankroll.
My question is: does this really apply even for micro limits?
I am playing the Party 11's for a pretty reasonable ROI [about 40% over around 50 games].
It seems to me that a very basic strategy will get you ITM at these stakes, since they are well populated with clueless players.
I am pretty sure that the 100 buyin advice is excessively conservative for these donkish games?
I am fully aware that my sample of 50 is tiny.
Any advice about this?
Current BR = 35 buy ins.

i think having 35-50 would be a bad idea, having around 100 you wont have to move down if you have a 15 buyin downswing where if you have 40 and you have a 15 buyin downswing you will need to be moving down, but if your comfortable and dont think you will start playing with scared money when your losing then you should be fine, keep grindin it out anyway you should be there in no time with an roi like that(assuming it stays even half that high)

You should be fine, just be cautious. I play the Pokerstars 27s with about 40 buy ins and it hasn't given me problems yet. (jinxed now)

My current bankroll has about 900 buyin's for the level I play. I should probably move up by now huh...

I'm such a nit.

If you can easily reload another 50 Buyins then its no problem.

Not if you don't feel comfortable or don't feel like you can win at the next level. No bankroll is sufficient, of course, if you don't win.

To the OP: If you can't reload at any point then yes, 100x BB should be required in my opinion. If you can move down, you can probably go w/ 50.

I really should move up (I crush the games at the level I play), but the higher limit games load so damn slow (non turbo's)...it's takes like 20 minutes to get 8 loaded up and by then I'm half way through the first one I loaded. Blah.
