Journey Through The Micros

I'm a 37 year old guy, married,  with two beautiful kids. I work as  a doctor (surgeon) and live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Started playing poker about a year ago, basically 2NL and pretty much all kinds of games, SNG's and MTT's, Finally I decided to play only cash games and dedicate myself to that. Read a lot of books, subscribed to 3 training sites and really studied the game.

Through all this time I played erratically at PS and FTP, basically 10NL, and didn't do well. Lost some money and had to redeposit some times. A few months ago I decided I'd only play at Stars and try to steadly move up through the limits (or down, if I have to).

At the present moment I'm playing 25NL with the SN JokerSlasher. If you check PTR you'll see I still suck at 10NL (lol), so how the hell am I playing 25NL? Well, I played some pretty bad 10NL but lately I felt I was not playing that bad and had some coolers and bad beats. I am totally aware that I have to solve that at 10NL, untill I'm a winner at that limit. But since I felt I've been playing good poker in the last weeks and since I'm way overrolled to 10NL (depositting) I decided to play some hands at 25NL to feel the game there and maybe get a little better playing some tougher opponents (no, I'm not moving up to where they "respect my raises", lol).  So, I'm only playing 2 tables (one of the bigger problems I think I had at 10NL was playing too many tables) and doing well. The plan is this: Slowly increase the numbers of tables up to 4 (max), as long I'm winning, then I'll keep playing 4 tables untill I'm 30 BIs to 50NL. I'll start taking shots at 50NL and start the process all over again. In the meantime, I'll throw some hands at 10NL just to get unstuck (it bothers me so much...)
