I had much the same graph.. Until I moved up to 50nl about 1.5 weeks ago.
Happy swongs 🙁 (But then of course I do suck.)

Holy swongs, Enty! That's the future I fear for my beautiful graph. May it not go down that dark path... and may yours go back up!

Ok cool, so you took a 16BI shot? Or did you just move up for good.

TBH not sure if you should have moved down after a -5BI shot, I know you are over rolled etc but I think you could have saved yourself some $$$ by just taking small steps to moving up and admitting defeat at 50nl first time and just moved back down until you replenished the shot losses.

Yeah that $500 tourney win came at an akward time, as it gave me so much more room to play with.
But I've bought a $300 ipod and $300 for coaching so I'm now back to 25 buy ins and I'm thinking of seeing it as a shot as of now.

I never really saw it as one, just moved up. Figured I would make it.
If I lose 3 more buyins, I can go back down to 25nl and grind it back up, repeat, etc
 
Enty, you should be looking to move up gradually. Add in one higher table with the rest, and gradually add as your roll increases. TBH I rekon its a mistake to move up "all in one go"
 
Hmm, I don't like playing two limits at the same time 🙁.
It messes with ma head tbh.

BTW why did u say u didn't see urself playing at 100nl ?
what's wrong with 100nl ?

I don't either. It makes bet sizing more of a chore and allows for more errors because of keeping track of which tables are which limits -- unless you're completely relying on the "bet pot" button and similar.

What about halving the number of tables played when moving up? If you're playing 8 tables at $25NL, play 4 at $50 NL, etc. Then you've got the same amount of money on the line, and more room to concentrate on opponents.

About a week ago I decided my goal would be a four-figure month, and I hit it tonight! The results below are mostly $25NL and $50NL full ring, with a little $10NL at Bodog, where my bankroll is smaller.

Happeeeeeeeeeeee. 🙂

Just noticed my overall winrate at 25NL is now over 1BB/100. Only took 11k hands to get there.

You're faster than me.

I restarted my database when I decided to restart grinding. At 25nl I think I'm somewhere around 14,000 hands and I'm still negative.

Two early big downswings that I still haven't managed to recover from, yet.
 
Yeah roundcat when I moved up I still played 9 tables and that wasn't working so now I'm cutting down to 6 for a while..
 
Am messing around working on my HUD when I noticed this happening...I seriously cannot wait to get back into this shiz.

What is MP1 thinking? You never flat call a 14-bet (I think I counted them correctly)!!!!!!

Yeah, doesn't he know the Phil Gordon saying, "The 14th bet means ace"?

Actually in this case it means Q4 sooted. Who among you can resist that gem of a hand?
 
My favorite part of the hand (besides seeing the showdown values) was the BB getting in there for 8 big blinds and then typing "cmon shove, get it in there" to the other players.
 
lmao same table, the MP2 from the last hand gets in another minraising fest and they get it in 4 way pre. MP shows 106o for a straight. Ship 400bbs lol
 
it would be nice if i ever get to see a showdown with aces where the villain doesnt have sets/quads..
