Yea, I moved to 2/4 a while ago. Its going really well. Fortunately I'm running pretty well. My winrate exceeds my abilities, and I'm just fine with that. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Right now my BR is back to about 1300. I'm going to sit back and grind 2/4 for now, since that's what I was doing before the tax thing. I'm headed up to 5/10, but I'm not in a hurry to get there. I was in a big hurry to get back to 2/4, so I reduced my BR requirements to the minimum. I'll wait for 300 BBs before moving to 3/6. Then I'll want at least 300 BBs before moving to 5/10, and I'll want to do some bigtime data mining before I move too. We'll see what happens then.

Meanwhile, I think I'm going to start taking shots at the 100+9's again pretty soon. I'll probably just do what I did before - skim the profits from a 2/4 session to pay for the buyin. If it goes well, the MTTs should start funding themselves, and I'll be back on the trail.

An interesting thing happened during my rebuild period. My PT icon changed for the first time since it became a moneybag. Now I'm a smiley face. Even if I filter out everything but 2/4, my stats are still smileyface stats. And you know what? I'm fine with that.

This describes my last 2 weeks. I am on a 300BB upswing at 2/4 and loving it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Are you planning on moving to 5/10 full, or 6max? If 5/10 full, what site do you plan on playing at?

I don't have this kind of balls. Or tourney skills to go along with them.

I lost my PT d-base, and now that I've restarted, I'm a smiley face too, and I couldn't be happier. I love being a loosey.

Good luck in the MTTs and getting up to 5/10.

I know...the funny thing is that back then, I had to preface all my posts with "I'm looser than almost all of you guys, but..."

now I'm tighter than everyone [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Is this true up in small stakes, too?

Wonder why people are moving looser. I'm still pretty solid in the TA range (eagle), and stay there, although for a while when I started 1/2 I was [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], too.

KO

Hey GrunchCan, how did you get started in NL tournaments (I presume the $100+9s are NL?)?

I'm gonna pick on Grunch because of his incriminating quote, but this is more of an open question to any microers who are learning NL tourneys. Did you start with books? Observation of skilled players? Just by playing and eating the losses?

Sorry, I know this probably belongs in STT or MTTs, but I'm especially interested in the microer's perspective on this.
