movin up

I've started playing nl100 full ring the past few days, although I'm still getting comfortable and haven't played a whole lot of hands. Being uncomfortable at a higher level causes me to make mistakes. Luckily, though, I've had a good little run and a suckout to be up 3 buyins over 1700 hands or so.

Although my initial goal was to be beating nl200 by the time my current lease is up so that I can seriously entertain the idea of moving to Austin I am thinking about paying back my staker and withdrawing to pay off my credit card, which is at 2100, once I get to an online bankroll of $3000. At my current full ring winrate I'd be able to make more than I make at my job playing only 14-16 hours a week opposed to the 40 hour work week.

I'm very close to where I set out to be 4 months ago, which will open so many possibilities for me, whether it be going back to college, moving or traveling to places like Austin, Buenos Aires, and Thailand, or staying here to try and build up the bankroll.
