Considering that the most recent session of 515 hands was very lazy and played while drinking, I think the 20K hands are off to a good start.

.............and I did learn something from that last session, namely the importance of walking away/not playing when conditions are anything less than optimal.
Good luck with your op redmanstl! Playing whilst drinking is the kiss of death my friend and really not worth it. Nothing worse than waking up and realizing you fucked off a large chunk of what you worked so hard for. Trust me I speak this from experience.

I just deleted a big ole long lecture because I miss read something in your earlier post. Damn I'm glad I caught that so I don't sound like a dork!

You're uber-tight bankroll management will be interesting to watch. If I read correctly you will only move up once you've reached 75 bi's for the next level correct? I'm sure there are pros and cons be really I think by the time you are beating a level to that extent you've wasted a lot of valuable time that you could have been working on the next level. You may want to really reconsider a slightly lower number at least for 2nl-10nl for sure! I would recommend you move up to 5nl once your earned $100 in winnings which with your starting bankroll would put you at 50bi's which is really more than sufficient since you'll not notice a big difference between the two. Then once you've earned $300 at 5nl move up to 10nl and you'll be totally fine.

Good luck and I'll be keeping up with your progress.
