Should I flip for 5K?

Three days ago I sold a painting given to me by my Grandfather for $6988 at a Sydney auction house. The painting is a draft of one of Arthur Streeton's 'war works' - completed during WWII.

My grandfather gave it to me when I was 7 and I had always assumed it was just a generic/simple piece of art. Two months ago, a friend of mine (currently doing an Literary history degree) noticed it in my spare room and was amazed. He told me it was a work by a famous Australian artist and considering I never had much attraction to the piece I sold it.

Seven thousand dollars wealthier, I put 2K in the bank and have decided to flip the rest of the money. Five thousand is a lot of money for me (I attend uni and make ~10000 a year as a part-time barista) however I don't believe I will consider losing the flip as a loss. In my mind, I never really had the money to begin with.

The question is where and who can I flip with.

So far I am considering:

1) Push or Fold 500/1000 tables with ThrCnBeOnly1/other regs.

2) Stars PLO all-in preflop.

Or are there any players who would be happy to flip on just a 25/50 table. All-in first hand we get.

May not seem "in your mind" as if you have the money, but you freaking do. I hope this is a troll. If you piss away that much money (Relative to your earnings ofc.), you are an idiot. No further discussion required.

I don't get your point. Why would you want to flip it, if it is already a lot of money to you.

Because if he wins he can buy twice as much LDO.

I would not go as far as to call OP an idiot. It's his money and he can to the hell he wants.

BObamaJr GL sir!

Well, you know what stupid people always say when they are too retarded to do something sensible with their easy earned money: easy come easy go.

Invest in forex, it's essentially flipping, but instead of calling you a degen people will think you are an intelligent risk taker

Seriously guys. Whats here to like. The guy is a degenerate scumbag gambler (emphasis on the fact that the money isn't his earnt), and one of the few highlights of his miserable existance is to make this kind of bragging thread, to let everybody know what kind of cool guy he is for considering making a $5000 flip. Of course you have to like these kind of guys because they make our income. But admire? Like their style?

I'd understand teenage girls to get wet over it but you guys? Sons, I'm dissapoint,

I'd say a flip is just stupid, the fun aspect will be minimal and if you lose you'll get nothing out of it. you should enter a big live tournament or something, maybe invest half on travel and half on the buy in, shit with 5k that you don't care about you could get flights to vegas and play 1000NL live for a couple of nights or something.

5k flip is just stupid, the ICM tax in real life is too brutal for that
