On my last trip to Vegas I sat down at the $25 table for the first time. Cashed in with $350. After sitting for an hour and a half I was able to cash out at $1000! (First time I ever had an orange chip).
What I found was
Conversely, you can't lay back as much when the cards suck therefore it seems it would only be worth it if your playing with a larger bankroll.
On an interesting note, I took me while to get to the 1K mark. I was screaming getting to $700 winning a few double downs on $100 bets and trying to stay consistent with $50 bets. But after the $700 mark..I'd try to go for the gusto and play $200 hands to make the quick bump to $1000. I'd lose some win some and hover around the 700 mark for a while. I layed back and played the 25's as I caught the majority of a weak shoe. Once I caught a nice streak towards the end I went back to the black chips and hit the 1k mark within 3 hands.
I guess the point I'm making is it's the first time I ever won 1K at any sitting. So I'm asking...."Are your chances more profitable when playing at the $25 tables as opposed to the 5 and 10's?" Obviously $100 cash in wouldn't last very long if the cards suck. Is there a minimum cash in that gives you a greater chance?
Opinions please.

- When your cards are good and you can get your runs going, its easier to lay down $75 - $100 bets therefor winning more each time. Double downs and splits are more profitable.
- You don't have morons sitting at the table splitting tens or hitting 14's vs. dealer 16's.
