Im not a PRO but make sure that you can live with the consequences of a less than 5 credit royal on any game for that matter

Imagine the following scenario.
1) Little left in the bankroll - less than $30. (Yeah! I know in Dec - I hit a RF holding an Ace only on with less than 5 hands left on my bankroll).
2) Low pay return game 8/5 DDB STP 25¢.
3) Playing 5 hands single credit. Caught a quad (50 credits) and dealt full -house; move to 10 hands catch 4 - 4's on 2 hands; then Aces; I now have seed money to move back to full credit 3 or 5 hand.

The only hand that kills is the RF but at 1:40K for JOB only a few times has this really hurt .   

Several players I know play 100x1 5¢ DW DB and play until they get the big deal or double their money. Then they start over again with $100.
