The Taj 5-10 games tend to be very passive. I think sitting with $250 is fine in those games. You will find plenty of horrible play, anyone with a decent amount of discipline should be able to beat that game.

There really is a huge jump from the 5-10 taj game to the trop pink chip game. In fact the swings in the pink game tend to be bigger then those at a 10-20 game at the taj or trop.
