I'm dying to get to 25nl. Feel free to leave words of encouragement like "25nl is cake". It would help.
25nl is actually way harder than 10nl, but it shouldn't be a problem for you, imo.

Just finished my second session with Alan, I'm thoroughly convinced we'll have a long-term coaching thing and he'll carry me easily through the midstakes. It's sick when you can pinpoint the leaks of all the more common and tougher regs, and find out how to exploit them all, all within half an hour.

I'm where he is, but at half the hands, and half the profits
Should probably plug some more hands at 10nl before I try 25nl, even though I am rolled if I stick to 10 buy in rule. Thinking I might wait till at least 15-20 to try it. Also I'm moving from Everest to party tomorrow most like.
Need to put in about a 1-2 hour session to get the last 70SummitPoints and finish my 2nd bonus off. Then I'll have 10 BIs for 25nl. And another 7 on Stars.
My graph is much more swingier tho. And I've been making a huge comeback in the last 15k hands. So I'm liking how I play atm. Will see how I go at Party 10nl and decide after I get like 15 BIs.

So, I'm jumping back into pokers. Except, I won't be able to deposit for a while, so I'll just be doing play money SNGs and MTTs on Stars and Tilt for now.
Whee!
...How lame would it be if my first MTT win is in a play money tournament? I'd least I'd get it out of the way, though.

I'm definitely not folding boat here, but I think raising is pointless and I'm not getting any value since losing hands are probably folding and Im only getting called/raised by something better.
