i think youll probably do fine. my initial post was just to be mean/joke around.

but there was some truth to it too. youre already being told by a few people that the games are tough. imo your best shot at being able to beat these games over time is to have earned enough playing smaller games to step up yourself (perhaps with someone taking a small piece of you). of course i cant fault you for finding someone willing to stake you, it is good to get your feet wet at some point.

good luck,
mike
