well in that case 150BB is obviously not enough for NL. More like if the book says 30-50 BI, you can join a good table at a limit with 15-25 BI. Of course, that assumes you are able to understand what makes a table good. And if you are reading and learning about poker I would hope that you do understand that. But if not, disregard my advice.
