It has been a week since my commitment to truly improve at the game rather than monkey around and masstable robot mode. I've made an effort to read threads, post HH's here at LP and face the inevitable criticism. With each bash on the back of the head for idiot moves, I sincerely feel myself examining the situation better and being aggressive, shedding my weak tight ways little by little.
The results have been quite spectacular, though nothing can be sure since I only have about 9000 hands to show for it. 4 tabling slow tables does put a dampener on things. I have tried to put in 1k+ hands each day and have succeeded for the most part. I table select religiously, usually by seeking out the tight regs and sitting to the right of them (which naturally leaves the looser ones to my right).
I play 14/11/5 or 13/10/5, something in this area. It has its flaws of course, but it suffices for now. Postflop situation evaluation has been facilitated by adding in about 8 more stats on the HUD and taking notes like a maniac. It is excellent to know exactly what a villain's weak lead means, etc.
I have taken 3 shots at NL10 before, with mixed success. Each time I felt like I was getting a little more used to how things were at the next level. I had convinced myself before this recommitment to the game that I would grind out 30bis before taking another shot at NL10. However, Maynard's BR Management Blog has me wavering. My brain completely understands his logic and agrees with it. However, my mental weakness is what i worry about, as I felt that last time i took a shot at NL10, I still was not playing "normally". The pressure of 'only having 2bis' seemed to be getting to me.
I currently sit at 21 bi's for NL10, seriously contemplating taking a 3bi or so shot into NL10. I am beating NL5 for about 13.5ptbbs/100, albeit over a microscopic sample size, as previously mentioned.
Any thoughts, suggestions or feedback is welcome.
Here is a graph just to make myself happy.

A 20 buyin rule is fine until you reach NL100+ imo, and you won't hinder your progress because I doubt there is much difference between NL5 and NL10. However make a movedown rule and STICK to it (2 buyin shot would be a good idea). 4 tabling, focusing on opponents and note taking is probably the greatest thing you can do at the moment. Your stats seem a little nitty for 6max (I'm assuming your'e just a 6 max player), however you will start to open up a bit over time especially if you're 4 tabling. |

20 bi is definately ok for NL10, not untill you reach the higher levels, you'll need more bi's.
I played nl10 with 13 bi's and crushed it. |

Definitely jump to nl10. You can probably take a 5-6 buyin shot. |
