1. I'd be happy to play 5c/10c on that roll. But that's because it wouldn't be too hard to replace that roll should I be really unlucky and go bust. As the roll gets bigger though, I certainly wouldn't want to be buying in for more than 5% of it. (I've actually become far more conservative than that as my roll has grown.) And I would suggest always buying in for the max and top up if/when you drop below the max.
2. You're playing too much poker if it's getting in the way of other aspects of your life that are more important. If you enjoy playing and have the time, where's the problem? The more hours you put in, the more your game should improve.
3. When there's enough value to make it worth your while. If there's enough money in the pot relative to the cost to stay in the hand vs. you chances of hitting, or if you're confident you can get paid off enough when you catch. Risk vs. reward. Know your probabilities and compare to the pot odds. Imagine that you'll play each situation 1000 times. Will you expect to make a profit overall? Will the times you win more than cover the cost of the times you lose?
