If you start with a full keg you'll only get a couple of pints before you see a rapid drop in serving pressure because there won't be much CO2 that isn't dissolved in the beer. Starting with a less full will yield a few more pints, but the pressure will still drop fairly quickly after a few pints. Carbonation level and temperature are also factors, but to a lesser degree.
If you plan on serving more than a few decent beers, bring CO2.
