Well, I decided it was time. I moved most of my roll to FullTilt and received the $600 bonus, time to grind it out I suppose. I also signed up for rakeback through TL  . All of this has got me very excited to work on honing my game.
I only played 4,000 hands over the past week, but I was feeling good enough (and running good enough  ) that I felt comfortable moving up to NL10. I started off on NL2 playing way too tight (think 12/11), but I gradually regained stats very similar to the ones I had last winter when I played. Currently over those 4,000 hands I'm at 15/13/4, ignoring my NL2 hands, because I moved up to NL5 after about 1,000 hands, I'm 18/14.5/4 and over the last couple of days I'm at about 21/17/3.5, we'll see if those number stick, I guess only time will tell. I'm pretty aggressive and have a decent opening range (maybe average for 6-max), although I'm not afraid to grab my passive hat and let some of the maniacs bet into me for a street or two before reraising.
Here's the graph for the last week (i.e. all of my hands since I started playing again)

I suppose those numbers aren't to be expected, but I didn't feel like I was above expectation. Most of my sessions (about an hour long each 4 tabling) ended up with me taking down two or three big pots, losing between zero and two big pots, and then having quite a few 20-30BB pots won with a similar amount of 10-15BB pots lost (generally folded but occasionally checked down).
Now it's on to bigger and better things! Hopefully I can continue my fun at FullTilt. Like I said, I signed up for it just this morning and played a couple of hands. I took a while to set it up and get the preferences how I thought I would like them but after playing for about 15 minutes I realize they still need tweaking. I made the mistake of trying to 4 table right off the bat, I figured I should reproduce what I'm used to, but it proved a bit hectic trying to keep up with all the things to do with a format I'm not used to. I'm going to 1-table later until I feel comfortable then I'll 2-table, then perhaps I'll feel ready to go to 4 tonight or tomorrow.
I ran pretty nicely in my little 15 minute mini-session, I completed with K10s and proceeded to flop 10 10 2, and as luck had it there was a flush draw on the board. I can't remember if I tried to slow play or lead out, the action was three handed at this point. By the time the turn came it was only me and one other fellow in the pot which was now a nice size, the turn was a complete brick at least as far as I was concerned (might have been a Q or something) and then I lead out 3/4 pot, got called, and the river came down perfectly, pairing the 2 and completing the flush if anyone had it. Knowing that there was a good chance the flush just hit (or possibly even an underboat) I lead out pretty strong (maybe .8/.9 the pot) and got instareraised, after thinking for a second (not that it took any thought) I shoved and got snapcalled by a Jh3h that hit his flush on the river.
I think I had plans to write about more things on this blog, but I think I wrote quite a bit already and I can't really remember what any of the things were.
Get money, crush fishes boys.
