I've went to this site (thanks btw) -- and some of these spreads are ridiculous for NL games. 2/5 blinds with a $300 max buy in??? 2/5 NL with $200 max buy in???? I've found some with a normal ($500) max buy in, but I cant see how the game is played with a 200 max buy in. An average 2/5 open is $25-$35 thats 1/8 - 1/6 of your max buy in.

My other issue comes with game selection -- it seems 2/5 is the most common game out there, but Im thinking of giving 5/10 a shot. It's bigger than I've ever played before, but technically not really, as the game Im used to playing is a 5/5 NL with a 1k max buy in, and an average open of $30 - $40, and depending on the table straddles can be fairly common. So it's definately a bigger game than the 2/5 games, but I don't think wuitoe as big as the 5/10 games.

Im probably gunna stick to 2/5 and if I go on a nice streak, and my bankroll gets a bit swoll, I'll jump up

$600- $700 for partyin should be enough?

If I get a seat (still hoping) I wont be goin out (hardcore at least) nights before I have to play -- and at the same time even if I don't I dont think my friend is gunna go out (hardcore) nights b4 he has to play.... but outside of that I plan on not wasting any time down there.

Im thinking Im gunna have about $3500 to bring down with me... (unless JD feels like lending me 1% of his bankroll, $5k ) I just wanna make sure thats enough
