I'm giving some thought to doing the same. I feel like i'll be able to put a lot more hands in playing NL400 games, and more hands + better winrate should be more than enough to make up for lower stakes. That, and much less variance. Not a bad deal in my book.

Not to say I won't play any 1k games, I don't want to get rusty, but I feel like I play a lot better at the higher stakes with fewer tables.


So I guess my October goals are:
- Play many hands of NL400/600 with lots of tables
- Play some hands of NL1000/2000 with just a few tables
- Play at least a few solid live sessions too.
- Make papes.
- Turn all of my students into ballers

Oh, and also give Niagara the business, obviously.

That is overrated I played like 15 donkaments of over 100 dollars including the 1k on Stars and damn they take no skill. Nearly every one of them I got out and some KK to AK BS preflop. AWFULNESS. I spent like 4k on tournaments and cashed maybe once. Tournaments make you want to blow your eyes out.

That said, I'll see you all in the 2500 event tomorrow.. I'm thinking we can talk about how we're doing on the October thread, or create our own in MSNL. I know that it's a tournament, but I don't give a damn about the MTT people, and I wouldn't mind knowing how you guys are doing or whatever. I'll be sweating a bunch of people that I have %s of, but I want to check on here for updates hopefully one of us can FT this stuff, because FT means MSNL >>> HSNL.

Hell yes, I want my eight hundred thousand dollars in united states currency.

Goal - 40K hands, tilt-free, $20K at 5/10 and 10/20.

September I didn't even break 7K for the month - a complete disgrace. Ran bad and took some breaks, but I'm on about a 40K break even - time to run good again.
