Default Re: Moving up to 2/4 limit UPDATE

Well, crap.
Now I've really gone and screwed things up.
I played 308 hands tonight at Party 2/4, and I just couldn't lose. I was up about 42BB, so now my winnings total $680 ($3,600 if you include the bonuses). 19 days ago my winnings were at -$7. (4.75BB/100h during this run.)
Now there's no turning back to 1/2, because it would take a 95BB downswing from here to get me back to $300. It could happen, but the odds aren't great.

One of the responses to my original post advised me to try 1 2/4 table and 1 1/2 table at first, but another one said just go all the way. I decided to 2-table 2/4 right off the bat, and I guess I got lucky with my table selection.

I know this is a terribly small sample size. And I know I probably got lucky by having lots of maniacs/calling stations at the tables I just happened to sit down at. But.... I hope this is helpful to someone thinking about moving up. If you think you're ready, remember what Starsky and Hutch say: "Do it."
