Now I' m not saying go play $25NL at 100BB with a $50 bankroll, because that's just plain stupid.
Your statements seem contradictory.
You say 'take a shot' and play 10NL with 5 BIs. That's risky and could well result in losing it all fairly quickly. Not quite as risky as playing 25NL with 2BI, but still risky.
If you're more than willing to accept losing $50, why is taking more of a risk 'just plain stupid', when you advocate taking slightly less of a risky plan. Many people would say that it's just plain stupid to play 10NL with $50.
I would say that neither is "just plain stupid" as long as you fully understand the risks involved, and are willing to accept the likely event of losing yer $50.
What is just plain stupid is having no BR management under the assumption that you're a poker god and could never go broke.
