Outlaw, craaazy stats. One losing day! i thought i was going to have that, then i hit my 3 buy-in downer and since then play has been strange. More variance. Keep getting my aces busted.

Quick question. How many buy-ins are people taking to 10nl? i have like $193, should i just go up when i have $200. I'm beating 5 but not killing it... is that good enough?
I feel your pain, AA was my 7th best hand this month Even lowly AJ and 88 was a bigger winner for me.

I am moving to 10NL at $300. That way I have to gain 35 buy-ins at 5NL and 40 buy-ins at 10NL to move up. I like to try and spend equal time in the levels as I start to go insane if I am stuck at one for too long. If I moved up at $200 I'd only have to gain 15 buy-ins at 5NL and then 50 buy-ins at 10NL! Maybe its a mental thing but I would rather have consistent move up points then feel "stuck" at a specific level for too long.

Besides, my goal isn't to fly up to the nosebleed stakes, its the learn the game and let the money come when it comes. Its like trying to run a marathon without training first. It seems some people like to try and catch a bus to the finish line. I prefer to pace myself and "pay my dues" to get there.
