I've been a very casual poker player for years. I've considered myself a student of the game all this time. I've played tons of hands for play money, with my friends in home games, read tons of books, etc.

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to get a little more serious so figured I'd throw a small deposit on PS and mess around. I had some immediate success with .01/.02 and .02/.05 games. Built my roll up just a little and then cashed in a few 45-person 3.40 games. I know it was a little quick but I then jumped up to some more cash games playing .10/.25 and even a few sessions of .25/.50. I know what you are saying. I'm playing above my bankroll.

I've also kept mixing in some micro stakes SNG but with not tons of success. My success has truly been the FR cash games. I'm certain I haven't seen any variance yet so I guess I've just been running good for a few days but I've been playing a pretty tight/aggressive style. Is it normal for the cash games to go this well if played correctly? I'm just kind of wondering where to go from here.

My deposit of 20 bucks was Thursday last week (I didn't play at all Friday and most of Saturday. My current bankroll is $183.00.
