An eventful couple of weeks

Last two weeks have been pretty eventful so I am making an early update. I have been running very well the last 3 weeks.

I have stepped up to $1/$2 (6-max obviously) and, as opposed to what usually happens when you step up, I'm running very well the first 2.5K hands. I averaged +5.2BB/100hands which results in $260 profit. Of course, this winning rate is just the upper side of variance but it's still nice to start with a winning streak as opposed to a losing streak. I think I can average +2BB/100hands here since I feel I have a decent edge over my opponents.

I've also started playing multi-table Sit&Go's. I've played 2-table, 3-table, 5-table and 20-table Sit&Go's in the $3-$10 buy-in area. Done pretty well in these with several wins in the 2 and 3 table MTT's, five 2nd places in 5-table MTT's, and one very nice win of a $4-180 MTT worth $216. Also came in 4th twice the these $4-180 MTT's.

I have also opened up a new account on Full Tilt as part of a staking deal I received from ITH member taz115. He puts in $600 while I put in $300. I will build that up to $2500 (or $2000) after which I pay back 60% of the bankroll to him. This way, I can create a foothold on Full Tilt without much investment on my part.

I'm also receiving tutoring from Ian Taylor (Piemaster on ITH and co-author of the Poker Mindset). I received this tutoring as gift from taz115 for my active participation on ITH over the last year. He already reviewed one of my sessions and provided some very valuable feedback.
