Your in win/win situation. If you bust in the tourney then its not like you paided 215. When you play $1/2 with $200 thats affecting your bankroll, moving it up and and down. By playing you have nothing to lose. You can either do good and win money or back out and collect 215 or bust in the tourney and atleast collect experience it's all up to you

This is bad logic that losing players use to justify their losses. $215 = $215, no matter where it came from. If you lose it, you lost $215, not $3. If you win $1 million in the lottery and then literally LOSE it ("I know I put that million around here somewhere"), you can't just shrug it off and say, "Well, I really only lost $1, so it's no big deal." No, you just lose $1 million.

But regardless, JD's question isn't how much he'll lose if he plays with this $215. He's asking if he should put it all into one big tourney, or if he should play a bunch of smaller ones with it.

He already has a $6000 bankroll so i say go for it. You earned it, so i think you should give it a shot. If your good enough to win your way there, then your good enough to hold your own in the tourney.
