Depends on your risk tolerance and situation
Don't know what the standard deviation is in live plo games. I assume it would be a little less than online 6m game of equivalent stakes (mine is 140 bb/100 at 1/2plo)
Hope that helps
One thing to always keep in mind when doing statistics is to check the conditions (assumptions). There's a hidden assumption in your statement, that poker hand results are normally distributed, but I don't know if anyone ever verified this (hint: they're actually not). There may still be some value in the variance calculators, and I've recommended them myself at times, but it's unlikely that they give as accurate a picture of what's going on as they suggest.
I would reccomend 100 buy ins. One buy in being 100 bb's. That way you can tolerate a downswing without affecting you mentally. IF you take shots the absolute minimum should be 50 buy'ins since anything less I feel like its to big risk compared to the variance i live PLO game.
100 buyins live??? I really don't understand this...not taking shots unless you have 50 buyins?? I understand this even less..
