Quick up date - the sole reason I am making this is because I am running good (positive returns each day so far in November) and obviously it's all going to come crashing down as soon as I post.
I'm playing smaller sessions this month - averaging 300-350 hands, usually for no more than an hour 3 or 4-tabling. I know that this is partly because I'm doing well - and when I do well I tend to quit and take my profits although I know full well that this is precisely when I should keep on playing!
I'm also pretty much invariably starting off poorly, dropping a buyin or two early on, and then winning it back in a little rush towards the end. I'm sure it's just a statistical anomaly, but past experience tells me I tend to be too full on, both with raises/bets and with calls, in the first 20-30 minutes of each session, so that might be something to look at. In all honesty I don't feel like I'm playing actively badly when I sit down but I should look at it more closely.
So, in cash/buyin terms, I have played 2,700 hands of NL and PL and am up just over 11 buyins at a rather pleasing 21ptbb/100  Pot limit continues to astound me - either I am running phenomenally well or it genuinely is a softer game at the $50 level.
However, I think I am dumping Crypto for good. I signed up again this month because of the good bonus + 31% rb but in a paltry 500 hands the game is taggy and annoying. I'm feeling so comfortable at Full Tilt - with its ease of table selection, its decent facilities and the faster speed of the game - that really the bonuses aren't any longer enough to keep me loyal to Crypto.
