    Just curious about how much you should sit down with when playing live. I would think a NL game is simple (100 times the BB like on most online sites) but what about for a limit game? I would think something like 30-40 times the BB would be enough.

    i dont play limit very often but i would prob buy in for 50-100 big bets (ie 3-6 limit $300-$600) but i dont think it really matters.

    Most people sit at 5/10 with 300 or less, just makes sure you have at least 12BB's at all times and you'll be fine.
