Thanks alot Dranger. Your OP is one of the ones I was referring to in my original post.

Yep I intend to play within my bankroll and move up when im ready. I want 20 BI's for $5NL so $100 is the first target.

Played about 150 hands last night, was up $3.50 or so. So not too bad. One thing ive been doing the last couple days is not trying to overcomplicate things too much. Its easy to read alot of the articles on here and start trying to play $50NL poker at $2NL.

I think ive finally accepted that for the most part $2NL players are playing complete junk (some are VPIP <10 and deserve more respect). Though im not completely loose, ive been more willing to call down raises OOP against players I know are morons (I know this isnt optimal poker). I justify this by assuming the PF range I will call with is normally ahead of the range they will raise with. Post flop, they tend to tell you if they have hit something and how well.

The other thing I have noticed is that if someone at $2NL goes all in, unles they are complete aggressive morons, they tend to have the nuts and think going all in is the only way to profit from it.
