WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

respect if you can handle it but 12 BIs would be way too much for me to shottake

but you are definitely right about 10NL not being much different from 4NL

yea I think I made a mistake there but I think you know what I mean :)

I typically don't shot take until I have 25-30 buy-ins and will be doing that once I get to higher stakes. It's just that I was beating $100NL and $200NL before BF and want to get there and beyond so until I get to those, I'm going to take shots aggressively and hope I hold. :)

Aggressive shot taking is defs the correct play here

Don't know what your financial situation is but why not splash a bit of cash at your bankroll?

Just double it. It's only $120 and will take the stress of playing away. If you were beating $200nl before black friday, why not reward your endeavor now by giving a little present to yourself of an increased bankroll.

I don't think there's anything wrong with matching your winnings at the micros with deposits, especially when you've withdrawn in the past. It can help you focus on learning and making the right plays instead of how much your bankroll is up or down.

My girlfriend's hobby appears to be shoes. She spends money on that, so I've started spending money on poker, even though I'm winning so the money is actually still there.

Only reason I haven't put say $1K online to start grinding was because my gf and I have a trip to London/Paris in a couple of months so saving for that. Then the week after we get back have to fly to Napa, CA for a wedding so I would just rather use all extra $$$ right now for those than put online. I'll probably increase my roll once I get back. Also, I just wanted to prove to myself that I still got it! ;)
