Barry Tanenbaum, in Card Player magazine column, December 1, 2010 (vol. 23, #24), p. 74.
Many of my friends who play no-limit are macho types. They always believe that they figure to be the best player at the table, and they always buy in for the table maximum so that they can win the most money.
When playing with strangers, this can be an error. You have no idea who the excellent players are and who are less-skilled. So, always buy in for the minimum while you assess the table....
Yes, if it turns out that you are the best player, you may have lost a bit of an opportunity. But if the opposite is true, you may have saved yourself a lot of chips when misreading one of the better players.

Though it's probably happened I don't remember Barry ever writing a column about no-limit other than advice about migrating from limit to no-limit.
