I understand "taking a shot". I don't have much tourney experience, and haven't really studied the essentials to solid tourney play, but most Sundays (and some other days) I will play in tournies with buyins ranging from $3-$55. However, I still stick to cash games to make money, and I do okay in tournies (usually mincashing or going semi-deep).

However, to be on such a small roll as you are currently (not a knock, I once had a roll of only $7), to spend 3 buyins on 2 tournies that are probably pretty high variance doesn't seem smart. You would be much better off just grinding it out at 2nl, and moving up to 5nl faster me thinks.

As far as the sweat session goes, meh. I'm not totally against it, but there are numerous individuals on this site that would like for me, or others, to sweat them, and I don't have time to sweat everyone. And I do start classes back this coming Monday, and I will likely not want to spend my free time up till then, or after that time, sweating a single individual.

However, I think there is plenty that can be done for your leaks from visiting irc, posting more hands, asking more questions, etc. Also, there are numerous individuals here that would love to do peer sweat sessions if one was setup.

Also, as another incentive to get to irc, I spend 90% of the time I"m on the computer with irc open. The same goes for others like spoonitnow, bbickes, dozer, etc. Just being in there to ask us questions will begin to plug up your leaks. Ask forum members micro2macro, booG, dranger, and numerous others, if you want confirmation. Also, a fair amount of random stuff happens, such as ftr games, and sometimes even the occasional sweat session.
