If $5k will break you then you are already broken.

I think 5K is just like explaining 20K, get to 50K and we have an issue:drink:

I'll be the first honest one. As a laid off construction worker, and struggling to go back to college yes 5k would probably break me.

That line made me smile, and it's very likely the only true thing said in this thread so far.

Most of the online poker pros don't sweat even 300K.

When single making 50K 20 years nope it wouldn't -- I'd deal with it...

Making a lot more now with a wife and 2 kids it's a different story.

Oddly working in casino's it's the ones with the most money that bet the least, and the dirt poor brokest bet the most....
