Since this morning, I’ve been calculating numbers in my head. People say 20 buy-ins is fine, others say 50 is the minimum. Only God knows how someone is supposed to feel “safe” in a game with so much variance. Even with 30 buy-ins, one bad stretch can shake you.
 
Anywhere above 20+ buy-ins I feel "safe" at micro stakes, but if I were to play high stakes. Probably 50+ buy-ins for me to grind MTT's comfortably online.
