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.
I can't help but think you are insulting me for moving up when I have 20BI's at a micro stake. Sorry I have am slightly more aggressive in my BRM then you are right now, but fwiw after 25nl I turn into a BR nit just like everyone else. I won't be moving up to 50nl until 1500+ and I won't even think about 100nl before 4k.

Also, there is nothing wrong with someone (like myself) for taking a shot at a higher level. Don't make me out to be someone who is in some type of "rush" to get up to the higher levels. Sure, thats an added bonus, but I also felt that my game was good enough for 10nl at the time, so I took my shot and it stuck. I will be doing the same at 25nl when I take my shot at $500. I still have a stop-loss in place so it makes no difference (if you have 20BI's+) to take a shot at a higher level if you feel comfortable doing so. My risk tolerance is obviously higher than yours, that is all.

If I am taking this way too far I apologize lol, it just seemed like you were trying to make some sort of "example" out of me for taking a shot. I don't hate on the guys that spend more time at a stake, so I don't expect them to come at me when I pass them by.
