Optimal depends on the person, but typical starting points are 40 buy ins for SNGs, 100 for MTTs and 20 for cash games.

Also i hear people say that with good BRM you cant go broke, how is this.
Because if you manage your bankroll properly you should have enough buy ins to counteract variance for the unfortunate occasions where you have massive downswings. A lot of the most stringent people about BRM have 100 buy ins for cash games, so they can take a 20 buy in downswing and still be ok, where someone who only had 20 would have had to move down and rebuild (or gone broke if they just kept playing).
