I rarely open-limp, the only times I do it is early in a low buy-in MTT, when the blinds are <100, and there's plenty of fish, and only if I'm expecting to see the flop for my limp. In that event, I won't lay down small pairs, I can set mine this spot.
Cash tables, I don't open limp any more. I sometimes limp behind with scs or pps, but never open limp.

Is this a good idea for a beginner?
What spoon said. I've just given my brother an email bollocking for playing $3 rebuys with a small bankroll, linked him to this site pleading with him to read up on bankroll management. $3 rebuys require a bankroll of at least $900. If you've got that, then I guess it's no problem to play $3 rebuys.
As for 100nl, if you really are a beginner then you're just giving your money away playing at this level. For a start, proper bankroll management requires a roll of $4000 before we even take a seat, and then we really need to understand the game if we intend to make money instead of losing it.
If I'm honest, I'd say you're way off the required standard to play 100nl. I say this because you tell us that you don't open limp because a pro told you not to. You can learn a lot off the pros, but it requires more than just hearing what they say... you need to understand it too. Why is it bad to open limp? If you don't know, then please step down from 100nl very quickly.
