Slightly starting to consider taking shots at NL10 with just a little above 10BI, but not sure since from what I've heard it's the micro high stakes, and swings could be slightly bigger. Maybe I'll wait a bit more until I have a more safe zone on NL5 ($125), but dunno, feeling good about my game in general.

Overall
Hands: 43,096
Profit: +$97.32

And since people love graphs, here's one. In big blinds because when you're mixing too much limits they can get a mess, if fixed in currency.

i think you are good enough to start nl10, and go back to nl5 as soon as you go under 100$

Yeah, I'm still thinking about that, and my idea is getting that $125 safe zone, so I don't keep checking my cashier all the time, as it does affect my play.

Not that far behind, still playing today, and if things keep running as they are (~10bb/100), will hit NL10 in no time.

Guess it's time to start taking some shots at NL10?

Overall
Hands: 45,549
Profit: +$120.44

I'll take some time off the tables today to watch some NL10 6Max videos and articles, keep playing NL5 for the rest of the day, and if by tomorrow my bankroll is still above $125, will start to shoot for NL10. If things go right then, NL25 shots though will take a whole lot longer to begin.

Feeling good and happy about my play, and hand reading in general, time to step up, or shut up.

Oh hey variance, welcome back, it sure has been a while:

All jokes aside, of course it hurts being 6BI below $EV, still loving the way I'm playing, thought about taking the NL10 shots next Monday, so I'll start with a fresh mind after the weekend. Won't be playing much Saturday, but as far as I know, Sunday it's poker day!

Overall
Hands: 49,587

Sure, it's just because last week I did something like that, but the post says "overall hands", so I got confused, but hey. That's what Hold'em Manager is there for.

I'm taking a couple shots already, if the week runs good I'll be at NL10 full time by the end of it.

Weird week, and my total profit doesn't add up, but surely I only did selected "Last Week" on Monday using Hold'em Manager, so I can't understand what happened. NL10 was weird at start, then got a cold streak on NL5, profit will be marked as ~$20 bucks, but in all reality I'm actually breakeven.

Week 6
Hands: 17,365
Profit: +$24.54
Bankroll: $128.05

Taking some time off the challenge to play a few couple of hands/days at PKR (only account I have affiliated to PokerStrategy), in order to improve my status and read/watch some different material.

Volume might be slightly smaller this week.

Usually the answer to this question is no, unfortunately. It's up to the pokersite you play on so you could always give it a try, but sadly it isn't allowed all that often.

Yeah it's not possible, unfortunately. PokerStars was the very first piece of software I started playing poker on, then I moved to Full Tilt a few months later so I could get tracked at PokerStrategy.

Unfortunately, tracking on Full Tilt has halted after all Black Friday events, and I'm left with PKR or Titan Poker to play on in order to accumulate some strategy points.

As for my Bankroll challenge, It's halted until I get the status upgrade and give myself a few more materials to study upon. Been taking more time to review my past couple hands, and analyze my game. No biggie, sometimes things don't go super right, and I'm aware of that.

I've started as well, another challenge at the PokerStrategy portuguse community, playing 180-Man SnGs. I'll be running a couple of them during my sessions, and I do believe that will help me stretch out a bit more hands a week because of them.

Winning in poker is a marathon, not a 100 meter dash race.
