T_J, PM/AIM me any time if you want to discuss the concepts that work at 25NL, even if I'm not quite "killing it" as you kindly stated!

(I can say with absolute certainty that WITH DISCIPLINE you will become a winning $50NL player by Xmas and you should be able to make $2k, allowing you to withdraw $1k for Xmas, without any problem. In fact. I'd happily make a wager to this effect - you are one of the sharpest beginners I've read on FTR)
