Chips....or GTFO

So I've been pretty much crushing NL2 in the past week and had myself up to a little under $200, so I decided I'd take a shot at NL10. Decided to skip 5 because I didn't feel like it added anything last time I was moving through stakes. Anyway, NL10 is an entirely different ballgame from the robot-like 16-tabling that is NL2.

I feel like I'm playing pretty well, but being down 7BIs doesn't really show it. I definitely think NL10 can be real profitable, especially since more than half of my losses have come in huge hands. Examples:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/326825 - Note, I don't like the way I played this hand, but this guy turned out to be a real bad player anyway, so I'll put it in this group. I put him on AXcc or a smaller pair like 77-99. It was a bad check on the turn, though.

This guy has a bunch of my money too. He's one of the regulars who is there multi-tabling with me, so I've been trying to treat him like a real player who's capable of realizing my betting patterns and raising my c-bets with air. So far that hasn't been the case:

I've also made my share of bad plays, so I don't want to shed all of the blame:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/326819 - I've been just 4-bet shoving in situations like this when I have QQ-AA or AK, but I'm not sure if that's the best play. At the very least I don't think QQ should be a shove in this situation, even though I'm OOP. Thoughts?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/326824 - I'm a bad player. I don't think there's a hand that flats the flop, open-shoves the turn that I'm ahead of.

There's a few more like that, but its the same basic ideas - bad shoves or over-valuing TPTK.

So I've dropped back down to NL2 and continue to run at 20+ PTBB/100. It's like candy from a baby. Except its money. I think I'm just going to spend all of December 16-tabling NL2, or playing until I have 20+ buy-ins for NL10. Hopefully it won't be that long.

So after my last post I decided to take a break from playing poker seriously, but that lasted all of 2 weeks. I got $50 onto Full Tilt and was playing $2 SNGs and doing fairly well, but after awhile of playing the same thing I get real bored. So even though I had a decent ROI%, I managed to donk it all away on MTTs and the like.

While that was going on, I deposited $50 to ePassporte to put it back on Stars. Well that finally cleared on Friday, so I resolved to play more dedicated and disciplined poker, and so far it's working out. Now before I donked away the original Stars roll, I was running at about 14PTBB/100 at NL2. So I was pretty confident going in, and had it up to $60 in the first night. Then I decided to try 12-tabling:



So that was a pretty sweet ~4 hour session where I nitted it up. But I guess that will happen when you triple the tables you play at. Hopefully in the coming days I can have a few more of these.

As an aside, I was planning on moving up to 2c/5c at $125, is that too soon/late? Either way, I think by then I should be at least taking a shot.

New goals:
~At least to NL10 by the new year.
~At least 30k hands by the new year (should be easy with 9+ tables)
~No playing out of my roll. No playing drunk.
~Enough FPPs for something silly like a shirt.

GL all.
