Sitting in online cash games

BTW - that 5% thing is also referring to NL play and/or tourney buy ins. For LIMIT, the recommendation is to play at whatever limit gives you 300 BBs (big BETS) for your bankroll.

In other words, to play $1/$2 limit, you should have a $600 roll.

And again, I think it's ok to take a shot with less, but if it goes badly early, you're going to have to cut your losses and move down if you don't want to risk going broke.
