taking shots in bigger NL games

if Poker is your only source of income I highly advise against taking a shot.

If you are going to take a shot it should be with money you really wont miss.

well, yeah. the thing is i never really took any shots when i was playing LHE. after reading the Kelly betting thing in the 2+2 mag a few months ago it made me realize that i probably have been costing myself money be being overly safe.

i know its bad to take a shot with too much so that i'd be having to drop down to a lower limit. but since its such a pretty huge difference in stakes i'm very overrolled for the 2 and 400 games. and even if i took a 5 buyin shot i stil would have more than enough for the smaller games, i'm mostly worried about if i'll have an edge in that game, or if there's even a remote chance of starting off hot and never looking back without hitting a negative 5 buyin swing at first. and also how much better chances i'd have if i was willing to put up 10 buyins.

i dunno if it will be extinct, but obviously when the player pool begins to shrink, being able to scrap sh'ed will be an invaluable edge versus other players who cannot or have no experience doing so.
