how many hands have you played?

[Pat Southern]

I'll preface this by saying before UIGEA I beat $400NL on party, I probably played about 100k hands of cash game total during that time, with 50k at 1/2 and 50k at 2/4. Then I quit poker for about a year.

I started playing poker again in July. Deposited $600.
Played 6k hands of $50NL. Ran at 18ptbb/100
Played 6k hands of $100NL. Ran at 11ptbb/100
Played 150k hands of $200NL. Ran at 4.1 ptbb/100
Played 20k hands of $400NL so far. Not sure my wr cause I'm on a new computer and FTP can't email me my HH, but I'd guess like 2.5ptbb/100.

I probably want to play about 200k at $400, and then hopefully I'll be comfortable moving up. In games where my winrate isn't huge I'm a pretty big bankroll nit because I tend to tilt if I don't have a huge cushion. My goal is to be at $1000 NL by the summer. I don't exactly want to rush through the limits, but I don't want to park myself at any limit for an extended period of time and let my game stagnate.
