Because it's a situation I'm not familiar with and was wanting some advice on if/when I could play at a no-max table and what (if any) alterations I would need to make because of the relative stack sizes.
If you buy in for 100bb then it's the same situation you normally play. The only stack size that matters is the effective stack size in any hand, and if you buy in for 100bb, it'll never be higher than that unless you win some pots.
Ah, now that makes sense. I guess I was thinking about people who try to bully a table my buying in for more but it would still effectively be as if they'd just won the money instead. Thanks for clearing that up.
The part in bold is a very big misconception about cash game play. While it can be true in tournaments, it's totally irrelevant in cash games.

Suppose there are eight $100 stacks at a $0.50/1 full ring table, and then someone buys in for $20000. He can't bully anyone, do you see why?
