I agree with eco here.
Question: what is your win rate live? You said youve plaid 500 hours? That is probably less than 15,000 hands live. Would any online pro say too significantly (5/10 live plays deeper stacked) move up in stakes with such a small sample size?
What is your tilt control for slow hands, high rake, and the general lowering of your IQ by always being around fellow degen gamblers 24/7?
Have you spent a significant amount of time in vegas? Generally speaking if you have degen tendencies (pit games, hookers, blow) vegas just magnifies these significantly, especially if you know NO ONE else in the city.
Why not just go for 4 weeks? At that point a 22K bankroll is of course short for 5/10... but hopefully even someone relatively new to B+M will not blow through that in 4 weeks?
And +1 for reading MattMoore's vegas thread
