Default Help me figure out a solution to this...

OK, say I have a 100% RB deal with a VERY small site.
(At any given time there is 1-2 tables per limit from 1/2 - 5/10)(yes this is a propping stuation, so I cant give out any specific details)

Is it worth playing a very VERY tight game at 5/10 even if im not completely rolled for it yet? Just for the RB? To put the RB in persepctive, it's about 3BB per table hour, dealt hands, not played. I would be decently rolled for 5/10 full time in about 30 days and wouldnt have worry anymore, so it's not going to be a long term thing, (playing under-rolled) a period of about 10K hands at most, as long as im breaking even, since I dont have to worry about beating the rake, I think its pretty safe, just a bit worried because Ive pounded bankroll management into my head since day one.

I know that I shouldnt play under rolled, and it's not like Im inexperienced, I just use poker money for a lot of stuff and havent given back to my bankroll as much as others do, I was pretty comfortable with my usual limit, but with he amount of RB im missing not playing 5/10, I need to get there...and quick. Im sure I can compete in these games with my normal style, but I just dont want to hit any kind of major downswing while attempting this.

The only reason im being antsy is it would take me 4X more time to get to my bankroll goal playing my standard game...even 3 tabling at about 1.5BB/100, I dont know whats going to happen in those 4 months, I may have to pull money out, with winter coming my furnace might take a crap on me, or my car might need work...ect, ect. (The exact reason I need to get into 5/10, to start a nice savings for things like this)

I was thinking about doing 1 table of 5/10 full ring, playing squeaky tight, plus one of my normal 2/4 shorthanded games. A lot of these 5/10 games are the same guys I play now, they are just rolled to multitable 5/10 along with my games. (Very few tables to choose from)They play decent, but I dont feel they're significantly any better than me. If I can clear this kind of money in a full-ring game at about 30-35$ an hour, playing break even tightassed poker, I think its worth the short period of risk, then I can play my normal aggro game at 5/10.

What do you guys think? Go for it, Maybe think about 3/6 instead for 2 months or so? or play it safe for the 4 months?
