Otherwise, I just think it's foolhardy. Unless you have a high paying job it is pretty hard to rebuild a bankroll for 5/10 or higher. If poker makes up 50% of your income, then the risk of taking shots at games you are underrolled to play is significant, regardless of what others here say. I'm sure some of you will call me a nit, and that's fine, but I simply disagree.

No, you've brought up a very very important point that is only known to very few high stakes players. It's impossible to rebuild a poker bankroll for high limits via normal methods.

Long ago a far away,I had a family memeber who played 25/50 Draw in LA in the late 1970s. To put things in persepective a gallon of 87 leaded cost around 65cents. A good bankroll for that game was about 3/4 of a yearly income at the time. No way you could earn it back. So you played very carefully, and hoped that you didn't get broke in a triple pot (50/100).
