Move up to 20+2 sngs. You're losing money by playing under your roll because the 20s are not that much more difficult than the 10s.

This really isn't a part of the issue, but I see where you're coming from. Fact is, poker is going to be almost cut off completely when college starts in 3 weeks.

Seriously, right now I'm thinking fck it, because the money I have right now is more than enough for freshman year, and what the hell, why not take a crapshoot at a huge score.

i'm sure in 30 minutes i'm going to start thinking more like carl. this is insanity.

1. play it as a shot.
2. i hate people who are giant pussies who cant make decisions for themselves. youll never become a truly good player asking everyone everything, run your own life, make some mistakes, repeat. this reeks of that flaw.

Maybe not good advice, but if I were in your situation (and I can only talk about what I would do here, because you may be a much better MTT player than me) I would personally probably take the T$ and play:

A) 10 20/2 SNGs
B) 6 30/3 SNGs
C) 20 10/1 MTTs
D 10 20/2 MTTs

or any combination of the above.

Personally, I would think this would give me a better chance of maximizing my profits without risking the full amount of my winnings on 1 tournament, and if I were to play well enough to make a FT of a 10 or 20 MTT, then I am far better off (in my mind) than taking the risk in a larger MTT where my edge may not be as great.

Like I said....... just what I would do.

If you don't cash in this tournament, it isn't like you are going to forget how to increase your bankroll....

point taken, but I'm trying to take action so I don't go into making this decision like a chicken with his head cut off. Likely have gone too far with that, though.

Unregister now, that way you can re-register once you make a clear decision.

Is this "Satellite Winner's Remorse"

I, personally, would take a shot. Reason being that I'm still a student living at home, I don't have many expenses and I play poker as a hobby. That's just me though, you have to go with whatever you feel more comfortable with.
