Counting outs at the remedial level.

[Str8Fish]

If you can't beat 0.25/0.50 then you're gonna tank in 1/2.

This post notwithstanding, I haven't done -terribly- thus far. I think bonuses keep me a-float for the most part, but I did go on a 150bb run at $1/$2 before dropping back down to $.50/$1.

And then I lost my mind and dropped what I'd won trying NLHE and sit'n-goes. And multi-tabling.

But you're exactly right. I'm not going back up until I'm clearly playing winning poker. I don't play for the money yet anyway. I'm just interested in the game.
