Re: How much to buy in for in NLHE?
[ QUOTE ]
Would it follow that if one were inexperienced at NL and wanted to try it out, they should always buy in at the minimum until they were confident in their game?

No. NL with medium or deep stacks is very different from NL with short stacks. If you buy in for the minimum, you are less likely to face the gut-wrenching decisions on later streets. In fact, with 10 BB, you can push or fold preflop (except for the flops you see for free from the BB).
On the other hand, winning limit players are likely to be winning NL players immediately if they buy in short, and will probably lose in all but the softest games if they buy in for 100 BB without making huge adjustments in their game.
