After almost two years of being incredibly disciplined and perhaps a little over conservative with my poker bankroll I've decided to take a shot at 5/10 starting tonight.

It's going to work like this....

My total poker bankroll is about 37k right now.

If I lose 7k I'll drop back to 2/5 with 30k and a 60 buy-in bankroll.  Either way I will pretty much be in the same situation as I am now.  This is a good time to do it because the higher games in Florida seem much softer.  A few factors have made me decide to take the shot now, rather than waiting 4-6 months to build a 100 buy-ins at 2/5.  It was a noble goal, but not really that logical.  I have the bankroll and the skill set (I think) to sit on higher games and win more money.  I'm only hurting myself being over-conservative following some random guideline to move up that I made over a year ago.  A few other things have sort of lit a fire under me to move up as well, which I will discuss later.  Anyways GL bag ... will update soon...
