The problem with going to a high-variance game is $1000 is probably a lot to the OP (as it is to me), he can't try and sticky it by making a $10000 bet or something, since he can't afford to lose $1k. Although that's obviously insanely +EV

There's really nothing he could have done realistically, if he goes on a chip dumping rampage, they'll see he's not playing legit. If he tries to make a run at highest limits / tries to sticky this and loses, they'll just take the losses out of his $1000, and even if he wins they may take it back. If he does a transfer, they'll reverse it.

So the OP is smart if he first thought of the above then decided on calling up support and hoping for a reward. He's stupid if calling support was his first reaction.

its not like the thought didnt cross my mind. i actually sat down at a 2000nl game for a second, didnt post a blind or anything, came to my senses, and got off the table. realistically, how big of a score could i have hauled in? would it be that much bigger than just grinding it out over time? if i was gonna guess at something like this, i think there would be less than a 5% chance to get anything bigger than say 70k.

plus yeah, 1000 bucks is half my roll right now, to me thats alot. i have a part time job, but playing 50nl is like a second job to me. i know thats kinda pathetic compared to some of the big ballas on this site, but bills have to be paid, and this gets it done for me.
