Today's update: I'm not playing today. I'm using today to do some scouting and to finish up some non-poker things. I'll probably play some tomorrow and some Wednesday and then put in a good number of hours next Friday to Monday.
Re table selection. I've always be pretty meticulous about that. When I get to a table I don't even start playing until I know it's a good seat in a good game. Often times, I'll pass up good otherwise good seats if I don't like the players behind me. I'm good at leaving bad tables too. Should be even easier because I'll be starting out with only 2 tables.
As to the 3k stuff, as Veganmav said it's an option not a definite. We both understand the variance inherent in these games, but I have no proven track record at these stakes. I think it's tempting because good players have 150, 300, 500 big bet down swings to say that such swings are meaningless, but they aren't. Most people that have ever been down 150BB total in a game are losing players in that game. Some aren't. The option gives Vagenmav the chance to assess the situation, which is only fair as it's his money.
Whatever happens I'm grateful for the opportunity and will be working to make the most of it. Count on seeing quite a few hands from me while I'm reviewing and studying.
