Starting out with $100 - advice needed

[johnnydrama]

One final question. Seems that the advice is to play what I am comfortable with, be it cash or Sng or MTT. Focus on that to build my BR and play within the limits my roll defines.

However, how do I handle wanting to take the occasional shot at a bigger game? Say the wife and kids are away for a weekend and I want stay up all night and play in a 2000 player, $10 MTT just for fun and maybe if I run well, a nice cash.

Do I need to replace/deposit that $10 directly and leave my roll alone? Guess I am asking, is it OK to "gamble" with some of my roll on the very rare occasion? And if so, how often and how much?

Hate to think that my roll is only for one type of game at one type of limit. Or is that the definition of "grind"?

Thanks for all the good responses so far!!
