2 things

1. bb/100 rate is unimportant. Its $per hour that is. You might only run say 5bbs/100 at 100nl for example, but if you ten table thats a fair amount of money per hour.

2. Using proper br management and moving up as your br demands it are more important IMO that bbs/100 will ever be.
It horrifies me to see players playing hugely overrolled at small stakes (ive seen 3k for 50nl etc) This is dumb. There is, especially if you play sites like party, very little difference between 25nl and 100nl if you are at least a competent poker player. Really! Im not kidding. 100nl is a milestone because its the first stage where you will find you might lose pots to people with real hands, or you may find the odd player who doesnt totally suck ass. Also, your leaks will become pronounced. That doesnt mean to say you will lose money, but you may break even, its just dumb to not be playing games you are rolled for. Br management is there to ensure that even if you suck for a little bit at a bit higher stakes you have adequate money to compensate for the learning curve or leek plugging.

I play with a farily safe roll (i never used to) with 2.5k for 100nl, 6k for 200nl and 14k for 400nl. Im not saying being overrolled is bad, but not moving up is worse.
So all in all, your br size is more important than your bb/100 will ever be until you hit 100nl at least imho. I only beat 25nl rather a long time ago for 4bbs/100. So its not important.
