March: 1/2 comes, 1/2 goes..

sir0 what's your aim man? I have played with you quite a bit and I respect your game (plz ignore anythign I ever say at tbls, I just finished a prop bet `100k hands in 10 days and even tho i won the bet I lost $. ) Mine is Lettersonly1. Hit me up sometime. Nice month btw.

I'd be tempted to grind out another month at 1/2 if these 26k hands are the only hands you've ever played at that limit.
This will give you a larger bankroll cushion at 2/4 and will help instill confidence.
I think there's a lot of value in 'proving' you can beat a certain limit over the long-haul before moving up. This knowledge and assurance will be very useful psychologically if you move up to 2/4 and run badly at first.

Either way, good luck at 2/4 =].

I like this advice, and I think that's what I'll do.

I'd like to prove to myself I can make 5k++ each month with ease and then maybe I can have a think about taking poker alot more seriously in the future.

(It was nice winning my first 1k pot over the weekend though )
