Default Re: Should I play 5/10 at the Taj?

It's possible to lose 50 big bets in any limit game. I have never done it.

this is either shananigans or you're weak tight. If your raising with strong hands preflop and raising with draws and trying to extract every penny out of a table that you can then there are going to be nights where you miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss and before you know it, you've dropped 50 - 100BB.

I once won $700 in 6 hours of a wild late night game.

we've all had HUGE nights at some level, thanks for sharing yours.

OP:
listen to what others have said about being able to handle swings. I know nothing about the game you're asking about since I've never played in it, but if you aren't mentally ready for the possibility that you could drop $500 (and obviously if it would cripple your BR) then you shouldn't play there.
I don't agree with Al's comment that you should be "properly" BRd for it though. For those of us that grind on-line low limits, playing a little out of our BR at a beatable live game is a nice change and a good way to "take a shot." Al has much much much more experience than I do, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

Best of luck to you sir!
