    so after careful playing, and solid tournament finishes, I managed to get together a decent roll on a 50$ deposit. Up to as much as $1900 in one week. And theN!.....

    Decided to, you guessed it, take a stab.

    In less than 6 hours, I managed to blow off more than half my roll playing $5/$10 limit. It was by far the sickest, coldest, sucked-outest run I've ever had. AAA on the flop getting capped every round and chased down by Qh4h on a runner runner flush. KK getting rivered by 33. The list is pretty much endless, and I'm turning this into a rant.

    Anyhow, I'm letting go of the cash games for a bit, while i still have some sort of a roll left. $600 to be exact. While my stats aren't stellar, I've been playing in tourneys fairly well.

    I'm wondering what buy-in games you folks think would be safe yet not overly conservative for my $600. Any input would be appreciated. =)

    Sometimes you have to decide why u play poker, for the slow and steady grind to the top, or manage while you can and take a shot at what will make you happy. I say if you can afford it, oh well, there will be more money to try, if not, then next time you build a roll, Try Again. I have been there and enjoyed my side of both. The true grit of a poker playa is one that will go for it. So, Go For It!

    Good luck

    No offense sir but youve played 13 tourneys and you think that running like god in one Turbo LOLament makes you worthy of playing 5/10 Limit? Good Luck. You will be broke if you stay on this path..

    grind out some 10 9 man sngs and play the 26 dollar G tournies on FT imo. Play some satalites if you need. the 6.5 token freenzys are pretty soft.
