So, I am up $100 in EV at NL10 and down $100 in EV at NL25. I am at 12bb/100 at NL10 and -13bb/100 at NL25 haha.

I keep taking shots at NL25 with too few buyins, and I think it is messing me up quite a bit. Tilting after (very)minor crap which doesn't phase me at NL10 where I have plenty of buyins. I shouldn't of been at NL25 before hand ~8000, but I am confident I can cut it there once I have a proper, nontilt-inducing roll.

Sooooooo I am going to try and just grind up to 30++ buyins for NL25 before I go back.

Look at my silly grafz:
NL10-Looking pretty good I think. Obviously I'm running a bit above EV here

NL25-Terrible, and I shouldn't of been here before hand ~8k. Need to stop insta-tardo-tilting like an asshole.

I find NL10 pretty boring and I am usually 4-6 tabling it. I seem to do fine when I 9 table as well.. so I think I'll be doing that while I grind up my roll. I'll be donking around in the daily 40k to mix it up.. (woo I cashed for $70 there the other day.)

Hope I can muster the discipline & patience to do this properly.

NL25 is hard... just keep having the courage to take shots, and dont stress if you lose ur buyin. keep taking shots though, do not rest on ur laurels

i personally think u should take a stab first off at 23 buyins. if things go well, then great, stay there. if not, move down the second ur bankroll is below $500, and grind back a bit more at NL10. then move back up when you have 28 buyins, and if it goes bad again move back down at 25 buyins. keep repeating this, that way you will be a regular at NL25 asap, but you will also keep your bankroll growing and wont feel a sense of worthlessness everytime you take a failed shot. its worked for me going from NL200 to NL400

Thanks for the idea. I'll give it a shot @ 23 or so buyins. ^^
