It's not about starting stack in limit. I'm talking about your bankroll here. What I meant was that it seemed pretty clear that you were "running up" a couple hundred bucks from a small roll. This hasn't been discussed lately, but there are some pretty commonly accepted bankroll requirements for limit poker. Most people say that you need 300 BBs (that's big bets) to play a limit. So to play 3/6, you would need a bankroll of 1800. With 800, you're banked to play 1/2. If you go above that the swings will be too big to handle.
P.S. I'm not trying to be an ass, but it's VERY likely that the run you had was due largely to a lucky run of cards. That's not a bad thing, everybody has good and bad streaks. But don't ever let yourself think that you've suddenly become unbeatable because you run hot for a few hundred hands. That's very tempting, but try not to let it happen.
