It total depends on what your plans are. Personally if I started playing again I would probably stick $3k online with the intension to 15 table 0.5/1 nlh. I would keep another few thousand aside in the very unlikely case that I need to reload. I would likely only play at these limits until I get used to the games again and shortly move up to 1/2 at around $5k. This however is very aggressive, and I would only do it because I have played and beaten these games pretty easily in the past (I have never had a losing month at 1/2 or below). When I move up to 2/4 the swings seem to be far greater and I cant run over the games to nearly the same extent. I would probably move up when I hit maybe $10-12 but would be quick to drop down again if I was on a downer.
Again, totally dependant upon how confident you are at the levels you play and what games you play. If you arent used to the limits you are planning to play, then build slowly at lower levels and be more conservative than I would intend to be.
