I'm in love with your graphs ♦.
But I see you got a rough start at NL50 and NL100. What changed when you moved to NL 200 that made the transition better?

good luck anyway sir! just avoid my tables
Thnx but no thnx, it would kinda defeat the purpose of the challenge.
I'll be on NL50 in no time anyway so it doesn't matter. What's your screenname so I'll know how to look you up I mean avoid you? ♠_biggrin:

I think this is because in my experience the skill gap between NL50 and NL100 is bigger than the one between NL100 and NL200. Also I was unlucky at the start of NL50 and NL100 so that had something to do with it.

So far you've seen my graphs on NL50,100 and 200. But as you can see there are some serious swings before the period where I played breakeven on NL100.
The first downswing was me trying some NL400 Rush, but got crushed and lost 3K in a day. I felt I was unlucky, but I'm sure I could have played much better as well.
Then came the big upswing, almost 9K in which only 1700 was above ev. This involves me playing on regular ring games, seeing as NL200 rush was dead and NL400 just wooped my behind.
I played anywhere from NL200FR till sometimes even NL1K. I played up to 16 tables of different limits and was playing basically on all the highest FR games that were available. ♠_biggrin: (kinda sad seeing full tilt die like that after black friday)
But then everything went south really fast and I went on a 7K downswing in which I ran a shocking 5K below ev. I decided I was not ready to hit a 10K downswing and I was feeling the tilt coming. So then I moved back to NL100 Rush and thats pretty much the story of my graph before I moved to pokerstars. 
Somewhere in the time I was breakeven on NL100, I somehow decided to give $100 HU superturbo's a shot. 
Played 220 of those and ran 1700 below ev, down 3K in total. I don't know why I played this stupid game! I have some good advice for everyone, DO NOT PLAY THE HU SUPERTURBOS!!! They will eat you alive. ♠_o:
And not to mention make you tilt... I was so tilted at one point that I decided to play a 1K HU superturbo. Which I WON! ♦
And that was the end of it, I never played the superturbo's again. I hate to speculate what would have happened If I hadn't won that 1K sng....
Self control is very important and I definitely learned from this.
Later I found out that the 1K sng I won was vs one of the biggest if not THE biggest winner on that limit.
Guess playing the HIGHEST limit vs the BEST player is not the way to go LOL
I'll be back later with an update of the challenge.
Darkzzz
lol 1K sngs are obv super soft, u start getting real competition at 5K+. i am just glad u won that sng so u didnt spew of the rest of your roll/

Just kidding. Hopefully Stars treats you better! 6months to see you back at 600NL.

Next update at 100K hands and then I will move up to NL50.
I also found something interesting, don't remember where but someone on pokerstrategy put it in their blog or something. It is the stairway to the high stakes!
I think I'm probably just going to follow this while moving up, but I won't cash out anything until NL200 because that will slow me down alot.
I will be back at 100K hands!
Darkzzz
pretty nice graphs
I can definately relate to how you must be feeling right about now, that graph looks like my last months graph except I was in the red (wouldnt have been if I didn't run 15 BI below EV) 
How many hours do you play in a day on average?
Will you move up to NL50 despite not having the BR for it? Or do you?
Hi vonki! 
I play about 5 hours a day I think, maybe 4-5K hands a day.
I'm very close to the BR for NL50, because I am now following the stairway to the highstakes so I only need 30BI.
Can't wait to move up, I guess it's better to run bad on NL25 then it is on higher stakes, so hopefully I will run good in the future ♦
I'm going all the way up to NL1K and nothings going to stop me!
Darkzzz
Make sure you take me along with you in your way up to NL1K!
GL in your way up that ladder!
