Been a while. To sum it up:
Shortly after my last post (20th of January?) I was super frustrated with 50NL 6max. I was at the end of what was a 9 buyin downswing and all the usual questioning thoughts about my ability. I scrolled down to pick a new table and browsed a few 100NL tables accidently. I saw 3-4 20bb guys sitting at a table and thought to myself "hey, I'm used to 6max, they're probably not, lets see what happens"...

2 weeks later:






So it IS possible. Now I'm not nearly done yet, and still making a lot of mistakes (was hard to deal with a crazy table when I'm not getting dealt hands last night, for one), but a patient approach, folding out of marginal situations is working out so far. I've left maybe $500 on the table from doing that... but who knows how much I saved by not going too far? Granted this is not the optimal way to play but I still don't feel I play well enough to take those risks. Yet.

New Goal: Hit $3,000, then loosen up to 19/12.
