Default 500k seat - play, or unregister

I'm a good MTT player but not to the level of the big name posters in MTT

My roll is approx 2.5k. Lately I have taken to playing the 11r turbo sats to the 500k on stars because they are relatively soft and good for getting tourney dollars.

Should I continue doing this, or at any point should I consider, well, entering a 500k? I'd like some input please. I am about as 50/50 on the issue as possible.

i'd unregister. it is a lot of your bankroll and is a huge variance tourney.
maybe play a $200 one instead.

Word. Same for me pretty much. As long as its not a big hit to your bankroll or anything, this tournament is definitely worth it.

Well I know that everytime I havent unregistered and played in the high-buyin tourney i qualified for i ended up playing scared, losing and wanting to vomit afterward. Because the fact is that that 500 or 600 bucks is a big part of my roll.

So after a couple of courageous attempts I have just decided to take the tourney dollars. If my roll grows large enough that the buyin isnt a factor in my play then I will play, otherwise it doesnt work for me.

Actually about 1/13.5. I have played a MTT with much, much less. If you are confident in your playing ability, don't hold back. Go for it.

I'm more than confident in my playing abilities. It's a question of can I afford to risk 1/13 of my bankroll on some a juicy tournament.
