I deposited 5$ a week back and ran it up to 50$ at 2NL by playing 1.5k hands every day. I then took a shot at 5NL which at first went okay, before I got absolutely annihilated by variance.

I will top up my balance until I have 100$ and then start out at 5NL and just /20 my balance. So if I have 80$ than that's 20x 4$ buyins I'll get to play at 5NL. I love shortstocking and have played most of my hands doing it, so that's should be fine.

Once I get $150 I'll move up to shortstacking 10NL. I hope this dynamic BRM, will help me survive variance. Win or Lose, I'll post regular updates. See you all at the tables.

Wish me luck.
