Well I went ahead and played 4 6s and a 16. I promptly went on a massive tear and won the 16, along with a first and 2 seconds in the 6s.

Results oriented I guess, but I didn't feel that I was concentrating overly on the 16. I also didn't feel I played like I was scared of losing the 16 (made some fairly hair-raising bluffs on the bubble). If I drop any appreciable amount I will just switch back to playing only the 6s.

Oh well, I suppose I will keep this up and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice.
