To be perfectly honest im up like 2000(i know thats like 1 hand for you justin lol) in the last couple of weeks and i really am willing to lose this. I have hit a lot of FT's lately so i wanna take my shot at the big one.

This is pretty much why I play the $215 when I play it. I grind out 5/10 SH limit, with some SnG and MTT action thrown in. When I've done well, I cash out but leave myself a bit of poker fun money. I don't think of this as part of my bankroll, because I have neither the total bankroll nor the inclination, nor perhaps the skill, to play $200 or higher MTTs on a regular basis with a real expectation of profit. It's just using some of my winnings to have a good time playing poker. If I'm lucky I'll learn something. If I'm very lucky I'll score some cash. With 9 tourneys under my belt, I've been "very lucky" once for a net profit of just over $50.00.
