Thought I would address this, even tho this isn't a strat forum.
I think auto-sitting with 300BB at a table full of unknowns is pretty terrible at any level above 2/5nl, unless you specifically know a huge whale and are trying to cover him. Many pros agree with this. . . see limon's #2000 thread, for example.
Buy in for whatever makes you feel comfortable, add on if/when you feel it's +EV, and Never (capital N) make a poker decision based on ego or fear.
Good luck.
