"Where are you now" Micros thread

[fizzle]

I started playing hold'em almost 3 months ago. I started at .5/1 but quickly moved to 1/2 to clear bonuses at a much better rate. The bonuses plus free gifts from PSO were enough of a reason to play even if I was going to start as a losing player. I also took a quick stint at 1/2 6 max to get a feel for how to play SH to apply it to my full-ring game (and it definitely helped). I wasn't a losing player.

I've read this forum at work for considerable amounts of time and I've been reading poker books on my 1 hour bus ride to and from work. I've read SSHE 3 times, TOP, Weighing the Odds, SS2, ITH, Hold'em for Dummies [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], and am currently working on HEPFAP with Inside the Poker Mind coming up. I also received tutoring from a pro which helped tweak my game and to give me confidence in my skills.

I'm currently playing 2/4 and winning at an ok rate for 10k hands, but I know I've also been running bad. One 200 BB downswing and one 150BB downswing, followed by a couple 100 BB upswings. Variance is making me go insane.

Oh and I'm now trying to post more as I don't feel like a total idiot in this game anymore.
