I don't know cause I just starting playing cash games. Haven't made it to that level yet If its low stakes I just buy in for a tenth of my bankroll, if I lose that I move down a limit.

check out the challenge Chris Ferguson took where he wanted to get 0$ to 10K$ He had a rule of not playing for more than 1-3% of the bankroll at a time. How this would be in cash game is not obviously but if you sit at the table with around 1-3% of your bankroll it should be ok. If this is not possible then either gamble or monev down in level

As a rule you should have a bankroll of 10X the max buy-in, but Im quite happy to go for it at 5X and only bring in half of the max, so i still can re-buy up to 10X
