Depends on your tolerance for going bust. A tight brm allows you to withstand a lot of bad beats, but slows down your rate of winning. If you loosen up, you can win faster, but the chance of going bust increases.
For cash games you should have at least 20-25 buy ins. So with 100 bucks you could play NL4.
For normal SnGs go for more buy ins. 40-50 at least. So you could play $2 tourneys.
MTTs have a huge variance. So you can't have to much buy ins. Don't play higher than $1 tourneys with 100 bucks.
