I think I posted this some time back, but it is relevant. I hadn't played at party poker for like 6+ months and they sent me an e-mail saying they put 50 bucks in my account, and I could withdraw it after I mad X amount of player points. That 50 bucks started me playing at 1/2 tables. Having been playing 5/10 & 10/20 on other sites, I dominated these games(I'm sure I had a good streak too, I made like 17bb/100 over 500 hands). As soon as I hit 500 bucks I jumped into 3/6 games(2/4 didn't have 6-handed). As soon as I hit 1 grand I jumped right into the 5/10 and w/o a single deposit to Party Poker in almost a year I've turned that 50 bucks into about 10 grand.

The point of the story is not bragging. 300 bucks, if you are a competent & skilled player, is plenty to play 1/2. 500-1000 is a good BR for 2/4 & 3/6. At the 2500+ level I am quite comfortable playing 5/10. How long would it take to make 300 bucks into 2500? If you are on a streak.. maybe a week? If you have to work a bit at it.. maybe 3 or 4 weeks. Point is.. playing 5/10 you can make 500/week with ease if you are a solid player. To hell with a worthless part-time job that pays 8/hr or whatever.
