Right now you may feel like you fit in at the high stakes games, but to be honest, that still doesn't mean you'd be beating them, just breaking even (minus the rake).

A $2k roll is nothing in these tournaments. Its that simple. Enduring the mildest of down swings would bust you.
Okay, my bankroll is just over $3K at the time of this writing.

I would assume a roll of no less than $50K to fly in these big tournies, no? At least that's an educated guess I came up with somehow.
