"Standard" BR requirements for a game like 1000nl are 50buyins, so $50,000; however, if you start with a 50k roll you shouldnt jump right into those stakes. At 50nl and below I wouldnt see a problem with starting out at those levels if you have the bankroll, but jumping in at stakes any higher even with the roll is just asking to lose your money quickly.
k thanks.

btw, when i said $100/$200 i meant cash games with a max. buyin of $100 or a max buyin of $200. i was unclear.
