100 is fine IMO. esp if you're willing to drop down buyins if you run real bad. and even moreso if MTTs aren't your main source of income.

But of course, its very dependant on how good you are. 100 buyins might be a bit short if you're a 50% ROI or less. but if you're in the 200%+ range, then you could get away with much less.

Sklansky showed results from MTT sims in Poker, gaming and life (i think), and i believe that losing 80 buyins was very unlikely for a winning player. they were only for 200 people fields i think. bigger fields will of course increase variance, but i believe not quite as much as it may seem, since finishing in the top .5% usually still nets a pretty decent payout, regardless of field size.

obv. if MTT events are your only source of income, and you're too stubborn to ever move down in stakes then you'd probably want 250+ buyins. but i doubt many people fall into that catagory.
