which makes you rolled for 50 or 100nl only. Remember this....

I'm not advocating playing outside of BR strategy unless a last resort but for me I think it is now. I've given my best effort to grinding a roll from 2nl over the last six months and it hasn't worked so now I'm trying something different.
ummm.... you understand the why and how of br management, and acknowledge that you are guaranteed to lose longterm if you can't stick to it - yet you choose to ignore it.
You may very well have the skills now to beat 50nl, or not. You don't have the skills (nobody does) to beat variance - hence brm.
my advice stands, good luck - but if you played smart you wouldn't have to rely on luck....
