    UPDATE: BR= 3573$ ATM. Down a bit from 2600+, kind of a shitty day but whateva. I started getting my feet wet at 100NL (the holy grail of micro grinders IMO). Played short sesh yesterday and today. +18$ over a whopping 60 hands. I'm trying the 30 min 1 table with full focus approach for now.

    First impressions, not terribly different from 50NL. Saw some wacky like overly aggro plays that looked realy bad but could've been reg battles, I dunno. It's weird too cuz I check occasionally and it seems like the table selection at 100NL is better a lot of times. Still too soon to say anything really tho.

    I've been mixing 25NL and 50NL for the last month or so and doing pretty well. Mostly because before my work ended the only times I could play 50NL table selection was awful. I've been sticking with 4 tables and occasional 6 tables. It wasn't difficult to play 2 different stakes simultaneously cuz they dont play HUGELY different IMO anyways. I think now at this point tho, it's time to drop 25NL completely. I really just want to concentrate on the low stakes now. So I guess I am saying goodbye to the micros besides some occasional drunken donking.

    It's wierd to think now that the title of my op is "hopefully the last time I take a shot at 25NL". Now I am beginning to take shots at 100NL. Took about 10 months to go from 10NL to shot taking 100NL. Probly could've been done it faster if not for RL shit but meh. I think cbat said something like "all of the information you need is out there, it's up to you to put it to work". Hella true. I'm thinking a lot of micro'ers are too focused on volume. I was too but not so much these days. Slow it all down. Think about EVERYTHING. If you pay enough attention you can spot your own leaks easily. Then go do some study on what it is that's leaking. Every day, I know there is some part of game I need to work on and I try to. I dunno where I am going with that, just some thoughts I guess.

    Im off work until like Nov 10th or something so I will have plenty of time to play (besides a week in NYC). So for now I plan to stick with 50NL with some small 100NL sessions until 4K$. Then I'll probly 1-4 table mixed games between the two depending on how im feeling. And then?? 200NL?? Jeez I dunno I guess I'm just happy to have made it this far.
