Well, I've played about 8K hands at 5NL, and so far this has been my basic route:

Step 1- - Ran hotter than the July heat on the Equator

Step 2 - - Decided to open up my range in the Button, CO, and SB, including some 3-betting light in those spots, etc.

Step 3 - - Did too much of Step 2 without paying attn. to who I was stealing from and when.

Step 4 - - Got frustrated by the lack of action given to my big hands, so I started betting them smaller to induce action, wound up with some crazy-weird beats b/c of it.

Step 5 - - Decided to tighten back up and let the hands come to me.

Step 6 - - Ran colder than an east coast January while applying Step 5.

Step 7 - - Monster frustration b/c of Step 6, lost about 3.5 BI's by trying to push tables around, not really a tilt job as much as a case of playing loosely with a foreign table image.

Step 8 - - Reconsidered moving back to SNGs and/or MTTs for a bit.

Step 9 - - Decided on a 10K hand review session/re-learning the basics at 2NL. I'm obviously overrolled for it, but I need to get the basics in order at a Level I've knowingly beaten before.

BR currently sits at $345, so with Bonuses and RB I'm doing OK, but I still think the 10K hands will be helpful in the long run.
