So I will be moving back up to 5nl for the 4th time at my next session so hopefully I'll manage not to lose 6 buy ins or I have to move back down, I attached a graph for my progress at 2nl since the start of this session.

Ship it! Ringing the bink bell for you dude

Tournies are pretty soft on ft you can usually run deep quite easily and it's good that there's not thousands of players like Pokerstars.

Congrats on moving back up to 5NL lets hope you get some run good and stay there.

GL with ur goals the fr book strategy will be rather diff from that of 6m but I'm sure u know that...

Will hopefully see u on the 25nl tables soon, but I'm on stars, any reason why u chose FTP over stars? At the micros id have thought the obv choice is stars

I just lost 4 buy ins 2 tabling Rush poker, majority of it was standard bad beats (guy one outters me on the river, get all in KK vs KK and the board 4 flushes and I lose, pick up AA and guy shoves with TPTK OTF and runner runners a straight :P) think I played well but had to leave session as I was just getting killed.

Have lost in like 4 cash sessions in a row I hope this down swing will ease up soon and I go on a massive fish heater

Let me know how the 5NL shot goes!

just finished, crazzzy session a lot of ups and downs, suckouts, tilt spurs but overall I am up... I peaked at 170br but it was just a very swingy session i had hands like qt get all in with me preflop against my kings and hit a flush then got rivered deepstacked my ace high flush against fh, these are just 2 of the many suckouts. I also lost a lot due to tilt and one 100bb misclick (lol) but at least I'm in the green so can't complain too much.

Closing Roll: $137.71
