Buy-in vs Bankroll in No limit

[PugX]

How many Buy-in's is apropriate for a No Limit player to have at least at his bankroll to avoid being erased by fluctations and short-therm unluck?

In Limit i have read numbers like 200 bb at the bankroll, but in No limit you can loose your hole buy-in at one hand.

For 50BB structures i'd say 15 buy ins.

For 100BB structures i'd say 8 buy ins.

So even though you may be playing $100 you'd need a smaller bankroll for the 100 Big Blinds per stack game.
