Re: Looking for advice, input on taking a shot at 5/10 nl
Good luck. Sounds like you'll be a little short. Wouldn't you want to be able to afford to lose a couple of buyins to get a feel for the game? Unless it's a soft game or you get real lucky to start, you'll probably play too weak tight worrying about the money.
FWIW, I normally play 5-150 at CAZ (no no limit in AZ) and my bankroll/profits/time commitments this year are similar to yours. I'm now playing the 10-150 which is about as close as you can get to 5/10 around these parts and I've definitely cost myself some money by letting the $1K buyins affect my confidence. Fortunately I've been on an incredible heater (my QQ rivered a straight to crack AA and a set of tens in a $1700 pot yesterday) which has helped me ride out some bad play and increased my confidence. But if I go cold and lose 1/3 of BR in a day or two, I'm not sure how long it will take for me to be confident enough to try 10-150 again.
