Cheers for the encouragement cbat - much appreciated.

I'm not using TableNinja as it stands as I normally only play 6 tables, but it certainlyy looks a good product (I saw a demo of Frosty012 using it recently and was amazed that he could find time to make good decisions 24-tabling). I think TN could be even more valuable as Stars moves towards making all microstakes tables "fast" too.

The extra money on a consistent basis would be good and I hope the time investment will be worth it (but money is only part of the reason I play, as long as it's not costing me any money in the long run of course). I'd like to give myself options in later life and help my parents out in retirement, so additional cash will be useful. If I can hit a decent hourly playing poker then I've always got a fall-back option too during periods when I might be out of work or experience any other life change.
