Thanks for your insights Biondino. I do REALLY need to practice patience and I think working from 10NL for a while will help to teach me that, so that's exactly what I'll do.

As far as Poker Tracker....I have it and Poker Ace HUD downloaded, but honestly I have no clue if they work with Vegas Poker 247 or even how to use them in general. Guess I'll have to read the getting started in Poker Tracker to understand it. Any insights in to how to use them correctly or a post I can go to learn more would be advantageous. I see Absolute is supported by PT, but is VP 247????

Here's another question. I actually feel like my tournament skills are better than anything else I do, do you feel I can play tournies along with cash games and still learn what I need to or should I concentrate on one or the other? If I play tournaments, what level should I start at safely with a $500 BR (I'm thinking nothing above a $11BI)? I have actually won many tournaments and regularly get ITM regardless if I win or not.

No matter if I win or not, I'll only play 10NL cash games until I have a minimum of 20K hands under my belt and see how it goes from there, but I don't want to give up tournament play since I think eventually that's where the HUGE money is.
