If you are willing to move down in stakes pretty soon after losing a bunch, I can see how 40 might be ok. I'd rather have more so that I can lose multiple stacks without having to worry about dropping down, but I'm BR nitty like that.

Personally I think 40 buys is plenty. If we're looking at stacks as $value instead of # of buys than we're already playing a losing game imo.

I'm not a cash player, so I have no idea how much variance is involved with cash games. Seems like it would be pretty standard to lose several stacks pretty quickly in a cash game, though, especially if you are playing a bunch of tables at a time. What's a standard bad day for cash? (assuming 6 hours of 8-tabling 6-max, for example)
Wanting 100 BI assumes that I absolutely 100% cannot afford to go busto. I'm really conservative when it comes to BR management, but I've seen some really sick downswings that pretty much scare the shit out of me.

Depends on the person. If you have the discipline to move down when needed 20 buys isn't an issue. At these stakes (I'd guess) winrates are lower so variance will be more of a factor, but with 40 buys you can easily deal with any 10 buy swing.

Can't you easily lose 10 BI in one session, though? Or am I off on this? Maybe I should just go study some PTR graphs instead of hijacking this thread. ok bye
