In my last post I mentioned how I went back to limit since I used to have success there. Well, I was running pretty bad there too and it since it was Limit and 6max the variance was ridiculous. So I took a couple days off and thought about things.

I realized one big flaw I've been having. I have (had) two seperate rolls. One on PS and FTP and every time I was running bad on one I went to the other. I realized this is pointless since I'm playing the micro stakes. I need to just stick to one site. I withdrew all my money from PS and have been playing solely on FTP. I think the 27% rakeback will be really important in building a roll at such low stakes. I know later on PS will be more profitable but I'm no where near Supernova stakes so FTP is fine for me for now.

Upon realizing I'll only be playing on FTP, I decided to go back to NL since their FL table selection is pretty weak and they have tons of NL tables. Another one of my problems I realized when I was playing NL10 is that the money meant nothing to me. I would just call just because "oh well it's just another $2 or $3." So with only 8 buy-ins I decided to take a "Neilly shot" (if you will) at NL25. I have enough money to re-deposit if I were to mess up and lose it. Not that NL25 is a whole lot more money to me than NL10, but I lay down hands a lot easier.

I've been running really great at NL25 for the last three days. I can't expect it to stay like this but my roll is around $500 so I'm technically rolled enough for that stake now. Here's my graph and stats for the last 3 days:

I would appreciate comments on my stats. I plan on loosening up a little more as I get more comfortable. I was playing extra tight since I was under-rolled. I know this win rate isn't sustainable and I know I have tons of leaks. Any recommendations as far as stats go will be greatly appreciated.

Also, if I post again ever thinking about going back to Limit please cockslap me. Thanks

PS: I'm not trying to make fun of you NeillyAA. Just wanted to add some humor

a real neilly shot has 4 buyins at most.

So then should I go for NL100 with 5 buy ins?
