Thanks for the comments all.

Then move down if you lose 10 buyins. You're just going to fall into the same BR mismanagement trap if you play ridiculously overrolled. Not to mention that playing overrolled will cost you mad money in the long run. Just follow the normal BR management guidelines (30x is conservative, 20x is fine), and 4-table for christsakes, one-tabling 2nl is just depressing. You'll never get enough hands in to improve and move up. Seek advice and post hands when you have losing sessions. But, to be blunt, if you lose 30 buyins at 2nl you should quit and never play poker again.
This made a fair bit of sense . I'll adjust to follow this advice then thanks.

I've just purged my PT database and am going to start over playing 3, 3 hour sessions per day. Also I'm going to stop looking at the cashier in between sessions because that's just distracting.

Also have now replaced the sound card in my laptop so have sound again - will watch spendas microstakes video again before I start.

Starting BR: 42.90
Target BR: 100
