Default is gambling via credit card a good idea?

In the past when I've deposited money online, it's been only $50 at a time. The reasons are simple:
1) I don't have more than $50 to spare for gambling in the chance that I lose it
and
2) I don't have more than $50 to spare for gambling in the chance that I lose it.

Thus, I've had moderate successes (winning sngs, winning low limits, nothing too hardcore - after all, we're talking a $50 bankroll) and, in the end, failures resulting in the loss of the original $50.

Cue to tonight, and my credit card has just increased my credit limit to $3200. I only have about $600 in debt. Would it be wise to put money with my credit card on a poker site to gamble with? I know, I live by the adage "don't gamble with money you can't afford to lose", etc etc, but I don't have a job; I'm a college student who is a full-time student. I rarely have extra money, aside from maybe winning a home game or two (but based on my current losing streak...).

I know most sites won't take my credit card, but my thought is buying one of those nifty phonecards as a way of circumvention.

So, 2+2ers - would it be a good idea to take, oh, $300 and put it on a poker site via my credit card, hoping to earn enough so I could take out the original $300 and pay off any debt? Or should I steer clear of "borrowing money" for gambling? Which site would be ideal to play on (I've only played on party in the past, and their curse of having bad players works both ways when someone calls me with 23o and hits a runner runner wheel to put me out of my 5th sng in a row...)
