I dont have (or have anywhere close to) the roll to properly sit down at that table... but I viewed it a while back as well, and was amazed by some of the play... I wanted to sit down with a chunk and take a shot.... I think in these big stakes, especially when you arent known, people don't give you credit.
For example at the poker room I usually go to, I play the 1/2 NL tables most, 250 max buy in, standard raise 15ish.
One night I had a very good session and had over 1500 dollars in front of me... one of the dealers asked why I wasn't playing 5/5 NL (1000 max buy in, standard raise 30ish). He told me if no one knew me I'd get called down very often and probably make a bundle... maybe thats part of it, because there is so much bluffing, aggression etc being shown, people tend to value their hands stronger (kind of like in a HU match)
I've still yet to venture higher than 3/6
