I moved up from NL10 to NL25 in at the beginning of august and have only played 54k hands. Once I play more than 4 tables and I jump to six or even eight my play stays solid and deteriorates relatively soon after. It will now be december and have experience my first real downswing, the one that made me realize I need to be putting in 54k hands/MONTH to thinking about grinding anything out of NL25.
BEAT.
criticism and words of comfort will be much appreciated. feel bad for the micro guy that jumped into poker too late 2 years too late.
