Everything else sounds good though. Nice job so far!
Didn't know the variance was higher short handed tbh, very few people at my casino have put in any work to their games online and don't make adjustments to short handed play, 4 max was a cakewalk to me widen 3b range/4b range call down lighter value bet lighter etc. I won't move to 2/5 as my only/main game until I'm sitting at a 30k roll. (I'd like to buy in for the $1,500 max)

No need for a loan anymore, I've got a BR now made up of just winnings now!

Have you learned nothing? You have a decent bankroll for 1/3 now, so play it. Play until you have $15k and then play 2/5. If you are really winning $70/h then that takes you only two weeks.
Or do we need to read this thread in 2 weeks and have you complain about running bad at 5/10?
If I drop down to 5k I'll still have 17 BIs for 1/3 which is plenty, I highly doubt $70/h is sustainable. Regardless of all the suckouts I'm sure I needed some sort of run good to hit $70/hour. 5/10 doesn't exist where I'm from, there are only 2 2/5 games within 1-2 hours drive, and 1 of them only runs rarely.

Live I've got about ~170 hours of play (my last 70 hours have been significantly better poker though, eliminated all my tilt issues, and tightened up my RFI ranges)
Not sure for online, as I've moved over to Bodog but I'd guess I was getting in around 20-25k hands/week

this 100% If I lose it all I'm just going to give it up, I've taken way too many shots at poker, this is probably my last one (Might take it up in the future when I have a career as a part time thing) only if it doesn't work out.
