Here's me taking my best shot at 25NL ever!!
A couple of questions:
1) Given my stats, is this sustainable? Please note that my winrate is converted to big blinds and not pt big bets.

2) If it is'nt sustainable what can expect/hope to make here long term asssuming I'm playing well?

Regardless, I'm currently on cloud nine. Driving my family crazy though by talking about poker non-stop. If I could do this 40 hours a week I could be out of debt in no time!!!

No, you nit.

Randomly bussing up to San Luis Obispo for five days or so, gonna take some shots at NL 50 on FT, but after that not much poker for a week or so.

I'm definitely playing more nitty here but I think that's a good thing keeping myself out of more marginal situations until I become more comfortable. I used to run at around 21/18 at 5cent FWIW.

Decided to try some 100NL tonight to let the boys and girls up there know how we Microballas do it....

Boooom! Love it.

Seriously though, definitely my biggest problem when I take a shot is thinking everyone is pulling moves on me. I stacked off with KK about 5 minutes after the hand above when I knew villain had a flopped set but I just couldn't shake the nasty feeling he was trying it on. I was wrong.

So I'm gonna go back for some more this evening and play it vanilla white.

I here ya man. I think that I was ready to move up months ago but whenever I took shots I thought the same thing was happening. This behaviour induces tilt.

Does this mean you earn enough off of rakeback alone?
