 We'll see   Currently I've made back all my losses and then some. I think I have a more thought out and controlled approach to my BR now than I did then. And as I said in the quote, it wasn't playing the way I had been that hurt me - it was changing it up (and doing it at the worst possible time relative to my mental ability). The changes I made reflected the more traditional BR strategy (i.e. Max buyin) and exactly what people would have told me not to do (i.e. move up yet again before my BR was ready). I think I actually lost more playing at the level I'd been dominating (for small amounts) because my losses actually hurt me significantly and it was a lot harder to make back a max buyin than a $5 buyin.
