Spent the first half of this month moving up and down from NL50 to NL100, just though I’d write down what happened so I can look back on this next time I’m having trouble moving up.
I’d been playing NL50 for a while and had come to realize that it is incredibly soft. Soft like jelly.
Planned to move up to NL100 at $4000.
Started taking shots at fishy looking tables at about 3800. lost a bit then went on a nice heater up to NL100, decided, lol, might as well keep playing while I run good, and ran like jesus up to 4700.
Cashed out 700 so I can get takeaways sometimes
After than suffered some variance... but every time I dropped below 3900 I made sure I stuck to NL50, focusing mostly on opening a wide range in pos and valuebetting, till I hit 4000 again
I moved up and down about 4 times, donating a lot at NL100. was nice to feel confident in being able to beat the NL50 games.
I ran pretty bad at times. The thought in my head was: quit when you are losing, keep playing when winning. And I did this. Left feeling pretty bad at times but went and did something else for an hour or two then came back if I felt like it.
Played some sessions when tired late at night and they did not go very well, really do need to ensure a focused ass-kicking state of mind before sitting down.
There were times I worried about the running bad and being stomped on at NL100 but I really shouldn’t have, just concentrate on playing good poker.
Mostly paying attention to hands or regs that went to showdown, paying attention to who will let me get away with stealing the blinds, making adaptations to my cbetting and 3betting and also stealing other aggressive players cbets. Just basically looking for good spots to steal and you definitely need to have time to think for that so 3-4 tabling is good.
After about 2 weeks got a break at NL100 again and without really noticing it I was up 300 in a session then 200 in the next session and I was moved up fully.
Now pushing 5.4k I need to make some new plans for poker, next blog post.
Just found the monthly summary recently, I find this very motivating :3
ramble ramble.. watch these if you got this far... brilliant stuff:

Nice stats etc, good dedication too.
It's difficult moving up stakes especially when it's the low ones. I found the jump to 1/2 the toughest, about like 2 years ago..
The main thing is, as you said you donate. I found it was because the blinds meant something to me and i was trying to steal them and wasn't just throwing away my hands to reraises etc.
If you played just as good at 100 nl as you probably to at 50 nl you'd be beating it because it isn't really much more difficult.
