I've done the grinding thing since. 15k hands at 100nl (10-12 tabling now) and some huge swings. It's been an interesting ride and variance is outa control! I'll post the craziest hands sometime - just a few for now...
Bankroll around $4.8k... Think I'll only drop if I go down to $4k.
How does it feel? feels like playing poker.
