I'll play nosebleeds by the end of this year

I think I played like 4-6, depending on my mood.If I had to do it again, I'd definitly choose 6max, as FR doesn't really have any future (at higher stakes at least).

Great!
I don't mean to turn this into a well thread, just one more question
I think a lot of micro grinders put too much emphasis on BR management. I mean if your stuck at .5 / .10 to .25/.50 that's like 5-15 bucks an hour at best. Would you agree that you need to be aggressive with moving up i.e. taking shots with 15 buyins for the next level and moving back down if you lose 5? (Given that the goal is to move up not grind)
Wish you luck on your trek to the nosebleeds.

He mentioned he's starting school again soon so I'm guessing the slow down we've seen will become the norm so 5/10 would be my guess.
IMO it's just a matter of a time table, OP is good enough to go all the way so I'm interested to see the progression unfold.
I wish you continued run good in the future IFS, I love this thread!

Tsss... I'll prove you wrong :-) No way I'll just be playing 5/10.
Oh, and just because school starts doesn't mean I won't be playing as much. I've never had any troubles at all with school, and since many others have, I'll probably have about equal time to spend in front of the computer as I have now. Hopefully, anyway

not gonna lie...
this is one of the most inspirational poker learning experience ive ever had, thanks a lot IFS
ive been keeping up since thread page 1 and ive learned loads... you are truly a sick guy
your recent comment regarding BR nits and how good it is to have some balls to climb stakes at the micros inspired me to play more confidently and I managed to make 4 buy-ins in less than 400 hands! although i ran crazy good....
but anyways i hope you run like a god and crush nosebleeds in the very near future
ps- whats your rank on sc2? lets hit up a game sometime? hehe. did you play any BW by any chance? :O
