Here's what I've done so far


This is my graph since I started over. Well starting over as in grinding NL2, NL5, and NL10. The last few hands are from 4-tabling NL25 6max, and NL50 HU. I played the NL50 1v1 because I watched "DOG IS HEAD"'s videos, and it inspired me to play some HU. I won $100 from the first guy I played, so I just played with my winnings from there. NL10 has been not that bad, sometime swingy, but overall pretty steady as you can see. I think I'm gonna grimd NL10 until I get around $700-800, or 4-6 table NL25 6max, or 1 table NL50 HU, with a 1 buyin CAP. Hope I can keep on movin' up, and grindin the limits as I go higher.

Late night to early morning session


A 4k hand session starting with 4-tabling NL25 to 20-tabling NL10. Around 2 AM, there were no NL10 tables that were available, and I didn't feel like joining the waiting lists so I played 4 NL25 Tables. I went up about $30 there, and then I decided to drop back down to NL10, since tables started appearing. There was a bunch of regs, but it didn't seem to be much of a problem, since it is of course NL10.

Grinding...



A quite long session, at .02/.05, and .05/.1 mixed. Pokerstars doesn't have that many .02/.05 tables at 3 in the morning, so I just mixed with NL10 since they both have max BI of $10. It felt good grinding, not getting some cheese bull crap every other hand. This really makes poker fun. It was a good day today, going from about $170 to $270~. Also, my $50 dollar bonus is about 3/5 of the way there, so the $50 should give me a big boost, everything is going pretty good right now, Good stuff, good stuff. Hopefully I can keep going with my upswing tomorrow, and not run bad.

A Nice Session



Had a semi-lengthy session, I moved up to .02/.05 on stars since .01/.02 just seemed like flips every single hand, I couldn't take it. Plus my bankroll should be able to handle this limit, although I moved up prematurely. However, after this session I'm properly rolled, under my 20 BI rule, which I'm probably going to increase. I'm thinking before I hit the NL25 tables I should have 40 BIs for the limit if I'm going to multi-table like I am right now. We'll see how things go.
I'm going to post some of the big hands from my previous session.
