There are no good rules for this because everyone's situation is different. If you have a job and you can reload if you bust then br management doesn't matter a ton. If you want to climb stakes with somewhat small risk of reloading you can go with 200 buyins for cash and 500+ buyins for mtts (mid-large fields). You can be a lot more aggressive than that and also take some shots with a few buyins at the level above where you are currently playing if you want to climb fast and don't care as much about having to reload. If you play for a living and want almost no risk of going broke you probably need 300+ buyins for cash and 1000+ buyins for mtts. These numbers assume you are a decent winning player at whatever games you are playing.

This variance calculator might help give you an idea of what can happen at different win rates and roi %.

Hi.
I play poker when I have free time. This is usually 3-4 days a week, 3-4 hours a day. In most cases, I play freerolls. But sometimes, on weekends, I can play several buy-in tournaments up to $ 5.
Good luck.

I prefer tournaments and I never risk more than 2% of my bankroll.

I play what I want when I want ...... I do well am a good player and do not need the money so its all cause I love the war of poker honestly..... I have fun i stress during each game if i lose 10 dollars i want to jump off a bridge haha..... but as long as I can be playing 3-4 games at a time? I am truly happy lol so thank god for freerolls cause that keeps me going::)

if you play $ 1 buy'in. he is advised to dip between 200 and 250 buy-in to play. I always prefer to play espresso and MTT bounty. I love these two formats but I also play roulette or sports betting when I just want to bet.
