I changed the name of my op to better reflect my '09 goal of getting the BR to 10k and leaving micros behind forever.

Some thoughts.

1. Yes I know micros supposedly only go up to like 50NL and 10k would be more than enough to play 100 or even 200NL. But I wanted to challenge myself and not only get out of micros but by years end be a proven winner in low stakes (100NL at least)

2. 10k allows me to donk around in some higher MTTs than I am used to and I am sure I will want to go back to them again at some point... if only sporadically.

Show me da money!
