Keep in mind that 100 buy-ins for MTT tournaments [B]depends on a lot of factors[/B]!! First, it assumes you can beat the game with a great ROI. It also assumes that you are playing small field tournaments. If this is not true for you, you should lower your average buy-in and play with 200 or even 300 buy-ins.

For example, assuming you have $125 and you want to play tournaments of $1.10 buy-in, 11% rake and average field of 400 players and 50 get paid. Let's assume you want to play 1,000 tourneys and your ROI is 20% (it assumes you can beat the game with ease).

With this 113 buy-ins bankroll, [B]you still have a 16% chance of going broke! You also have 17% chance of being negative after 1,000 games![/B]
To have a 1% risk of ruin you should have a 268 buy-ins bankroll for these parameters!
[B]The main question becomes: what is the risk you want to take? What are your skills?[/B]

My recommendation is that you visit [B][I]primedope.com[/I][/B] and play with their tournament variance calculator.
You might get surprised by the numbers. Variance can be very large in MTTs!!
