ya i guess iw ill call on my way and put my name on both lists. check out the 5/10 table, if it looks real profitable i will play, if not i will stick to 2 max. 2 max is such gravy at windsor and so fun. Only if 5/10 looks real good I will play. ANd maybe even bring 900, 500 for 5/10 and if I lose it just drop down, and have 2 buy ins for 2 max...

Dude.The $2 tables are amazing, I cannot believe that the 5/10 tables are better, but I'd say time it right and give it a shot. It is only money. I'll be at the $2 tables on Friday.

Alright ill have a chance to take a shot at higher limit a week from friday. When I play live I usually only play 1/2 100 max or 2/5 200 max at casino windsor. But Ive been running well there lately and on the last friday of every month they run a 500+50 MTT. Im not going to play in it. However, after the tourneys they run a 5/10 500 max. Ive heard its very juicy, especially after this tourney. My roll in cash is only about 2.5k, and i have another 2k i could get instantly. I also have alot more money outside of this, but this is what would be available to me immediately. Should I take the plunge and dive into 5/10??? I would prob be one of the top 3 players at a random table of 5/10 there.

Again, why not "win" your buyin by doubling up in the $2/5 game, then getting a table change to the $5/10? You'll be risking less of your own money, and you'll be able to play your game, instead of worrying about "how much of your roll" you are playing with.

I'd want a 5K roll minimum to comfortably play 5/10.GL

my roll is about 5k, and i have a retirement fund if need be . Yes i am 19 with a retirement fundMTD, great point. I should sit at 2/5 and try to get 500 then move to the 5/10 game. for some reason i didnt think of that.

Looked for ya. I was there for about 5 hours. Spend much of the evening down, but in the end went on a little heater and fought my way comfortably back into positive territory.

Um.....it's not a retirement fund if you are going to use it for anything but retirement - in that case it's just called "savings." Go play, go again, don't play scared, don't worry if you lose. As Ivey says, it's the only way to get good.

If you win all the time at 2/5 and have the money i'm not sure what the difference is between "winning" your buy in and just buying in.Bankroll rules are designed to keep you from going broke. If you don't care if you loose the money/won't effect the game you normally play (1/2,2/5) then there really isn't any reason not to take the shot.In fact i'd argure that even if you lose the experience is + life EV which is really what it's all about anyway.

they obv werent running 5/10. but i played 2/5 ran so ****ing good, it was unreal. i was in for 300 and left with 1600. yay for running good.

if the money isn't that big of an issue for you go for it. as long as you are comfortable with the stakes and not too worried to play your game you should be fine.

[Muckuup]

for the record I've played at windsor many times and I'm sure that game is 500 minimum cuz last time I was there a guy bought in for like 8 grand...

[CBass1724]

Absolutely take a shot. If you get a feel for how the game is when your bankroll isn't up to par, imagine how easy it will be when you actually do have that bankroll to play in that game. I honestly don't think the play from 2-5 to 5-10 is that much different. It is still poker but people playing the game have deeper pockets than others or the players at lower limits. Just don't play with scared money.No matter the money, the cards are still the same.
