Dont play nl400 unless you have 30 (or absolutely min. 20) buy-ins because I think you will think to much about the money worth if you do...

I disagree. I think it depends on the person. I think the 10 buy in rule is just a general guidline. Some people have no fear of money and play with just 2-3 buy ins. I'm not suggesting that for most but I dont think it is a must to have 30 buy ins for the 400NL game. For 2 reasons. 1 its not that tough and two you can always move back down. Also, The biggest factor is your value of money. If you feel uncomfortable putting your stack at risk your playing too high of limit regardless of how many buy ins you have.

as usual you're missing the point about bankroll... its about not having to reload, not having a replenishable bankroll.

15 is standard in lower level games less than 5/10.

ship it.

15 is fine but 30 buy ins? That is excessive in my mind. Again, that is why i say its all personal preference. Also, it depends on your motivation for playing. I play for fun and for the competition. I have other income coming in. I have no aspirations to turn pro although I do tracks wins and losses just for personal information and see what leaks I have and take losing seriously (again not for the money but because im competetive). For me, having 15 buy ins is not neccassary. If I lose I reload if I win I cash out. I do agree with you if you this is your only form of income. But like I said the bankroll thing in my oppinion is just a guidline and to each there own.....
