But that's just me, and I'm a fairly careful person. I've heard an interview with Daniel Negreanu where he said that he took a lot of risks to get where he's at today.

Have you all read theBruiser's story?

I don't know many details, but he was posting on RGP and playing 1/2 NL less than two years ago. I remember reading a thread in Mid-High where someone doubted his credibility, and a few people called into question his "lucky run" that escalated him through some of the mid-stakes levels and into the world of an infinitely comfortable bankroll.

I don't know to what degree this is actually true for theBruiser, and I'm not going to speculate -- but it is very conceivable that short-term luck can have a very significant influence on the trajectory of your bankroll and the stakes that you play.
