If those posts were the voices of reasons, mine is going to be the complete opposite so please take it in that respect.

I would get insanely bored playing .25/.50 limit with a $1500 roll.  My personality just does not allow me to do things like that.  I would much rather take a shot at a game with real stakes with fewer buy ins, then play it super safe and be bored in the process.  Is it a weakness in my game?  Maybe.  But its one I realize is there.

Its different because you are learning the game, and you have to understand that maybe you will lose some but should turn that around quickly if you are smart (which is seems like you are).

This is what I would do.  Note that I don't adhere to strict br management  and put myself in riskier situations that suggested by some.  I would take 100 or 150 of it and play low stakes until I was feeling confident.  Then I go for the gusto.  I add what ever is left to the account and play a game I have maybe 5 or 6 buy ins to.  Because its limit, i'm not going to swing as much and don't mind taking the chance.  It will be much more interesting, challanging, and rewarding if done with positive results.

Conservative BR management is not a bad idea, but I see it as a method of primarily protecting ones' self from going broke.  It sacrifices immediate possible gains in order to protect a player.  I see it as a protection first/gains later.  Thats the part that turns me away from it.   If you are young, and don't need the $1500 to pay your bills or food, then whats the worst that can happen?  You lose the $1500 playing a game you will enjoy more, with a possibility of earining more.

To each his own.  But I would definately take some time to get used to playing before using all of it.  Develop a game you are confident in.
