So, I've been playing 1/2 NL 6max since May and been doing alright, but I always had a hard time moving up to 2/4... seems like everytime I tried I'd run bad, and then have too few buyins to move up. I took 2-hour coaching session (fixed a few leaks, nothing too major) and moved up Wednesday, starting to 8-table 2/4 NL. Things went... well?
First time I followed a fish to 3/6, my second hand was this:

I guess this compensates for losing with str8 flush and whatnot. Thx Party.
According to my forecast, I should be pwnting 25/50 at 107 352 PTBB/100 by the end of the week.
