Yes. If you don't posess the skills to manage your bankroll, you will go broke. It's not a question of IF, it's merely a question of WHEN.

We won't be calling your JOE. We'll be calling you BROKE.

Now, if losing your bankroll isn't a problem for you, then pick out the game you like and go for it!

Win or lose, you'll probably get a heart attack just watching the game.

Aside from that, the urge will never go away to keep "doubling" your bankroll. That's an addictive thought process, so it's much better for you to establish a unit system you're comfortable with; that way even after a rough weekend you can stay in the game.

Do it.

Keep putting the ENTIRE bankroll (dont leave 1 cent available) on the line until you cannot make your way to the phone or computer!

You can do it!

I don't see why not, if you are afford to lost your bankroll or double, it is already a good idea to pick out a game and go all in.
