i take $160 to a 3-6 game. with just $50, your first 2 hands could be a couple of missed draws & you are basically done. if that's okay with you, then fine. but if i get showered, dressed, and drive to the casino i gotta take more than $50 to play 3-6. if i lose the $160, i'm done, i'm kinda on tilt by then anyways.

It is like no fold 'em hold 'em. Played 4-8 limit in Biloxi a few times, it's unreal how bad they play. About 75% of the time there was no muck until after the flop. Long time ago it was only quarters at Seminole in Tampa, they played worse in Biloxi than those people did.
BTW, I know some folks will argue with me about it but you can make money at those levels, even playing limit. Not enough to make a living perhaps but enough to subsidize a retirement check and so on. Very hard at those limits as the rake becomes a huge factor, but they play it so bad you can do it. Most with a clue are playing NL, lot of fisheys play only limit these days.
From the tiny acorn grows the mighty oak. Back in the olden days, one of my associates was dead broke. He borrowed $39 and got in
the $3-6. He tore that up and went on to $10-20. He clobbered that
and moved onto pot limit. Within 30 hours he was up $30,000.
This was enough to buy a house with back then. In the end, he blew it all on drugs and gambling.
True story.

The players are so bad that as long as you play limit in a profitable manor and expect to occasionally get sucked out on your big hands you can do well. I just went and played 3/6 last night and took home 120 which wasn't a great score, but considering I was down to 50 bucks and left with 320 I was happy. I just couldn't hit any draw and my big hands were getting cracked but you just have to hope eventually the percents come in your favor and they finally did and I won some big pots with people who were more than happy to pay a capped street with middle pair
