Bored of 10NL, I decided to try a 2BI shot at 25NL. I've heard the play isn't that different and I figured 2BI wouldn't really hurt that much. Plus I'd stopped caring so much about losing at 10NL and so I went for it.

The first one vanished when I got felted on the very first hand (turned a straight, villain rivered a FH and I got stacked thinking {correctly, as it happens} that he put me on a missed flush). Managed to turn that session around by the end, finishing my first 100 or so hands up about half a buy in.

Sat down for a second try this morning and hit a massive rush, flopping big aces and overpairs all over the place. I screamed my way to ~$75 on one table and about $40 on the second (I've decided to 2-table 25NL to start with, although unless I start feeling really uncomfortable I'll bring the third table back after a couple of thousand hands). From there I sat fairly tight and eventually came away a big winner.

So far, this looks to be a success. Should it all go wrong from here I'll move back down if my roll falls under $400 (and not back up until it hits $500). I've not noticed a huge amount of difference in the playing ability (although I've only played a couple of hours). I'm feeling great about my play right now and really looking ahead.
