Check out Pocketfives.com. He has an article about how he rose from small limits to the big game on UB.

IMO he is way under bankrolled and will be broke soon.

A big day for me was when I had approx. $30k in my account and took 5 of it into a 25-50 against Green Plastic of CardRunners. After we played a few hands we raced for all of the chips with my A-Q vs his 9-9. When an ace hit the flop, I felt fortunate but confident at the higher levels.

not yet, the commerce is still my bread and butter, but i've been sick as a dog for the past few days and haven't been able to leave the house so i was sweating the games to see if i wanted a piece of the action.

my two biggest obstacles are
1.)not having a way to get enough money online to be properly bankrolled for the game.

2.) there is no way i can multi-table like you crazy kids.
i have a hard enough time trying to sweat multiple tables at once let alone make split second decisions for thousands of dollars at the same time.

but it is tempting watching some of the sick action...
so we'll see...i'll keep you posted if i take the plunge.
