if you can redeposit if your bust, the source of which you're depositing from is PART OF YOUR BANKROLL.
That's probably part of the confusion. $50 is fine for 10NL, mainly because it's such a low amount that you can easily reload for another $50 or whatever should you *gasp* go broke. I mean, even a degenrate can scrape together $50. BR management escalates the higher you go. If you go play 1000NL and a 10 buyin downswing wipes out you bankroll, that is a tougher nut to replace.
In his case the 20 buyin is probably a good rule for moving up.. anywhere between $300 and $400 to move to 20NL I'd say.
All I ever deposited in my life is $50, and I barely knew the rules back then.. been playing poker off of that deposit for over 2 years now, spread over several sites (almost no poker past half year but still).
