As I said, if losing your bankroll isn't that big a deal to you, go ahead and gamble playing above your roll. You'll probably end up busting out and having to reload, but hey... if the money isn't too bad for ya, whatever, right?

i wouldnt recomend putting your whole br on the line. buying in with 10bb, realy dosnt give u much leverege if your get 2-7 !0x in a row against ppl who are more skilled than you.
BUt, barb man obviously is a skilled player who was able to hang with the 5/10 players, and in taking that shot, got results that would take a year to achieve @ .05-.10.
Skilled or lucky? Had a little skill and lots of luck, because you're right, would've been easy to lose my BR.

But I'm assuming it wasn't your true bankroll barbour.... If you were willing to risk the $150, then you probably were willing to reload with funds from other places, therefore your BR was bigger than you thought. BR is your absolute limit of what you will use to play with. If your a degenerate gambloor, and are willing to hock your house to play, then you have a $100,000+ bankroll. But how you play with your working bankroll is the story....
