My first 17,000 hands as a grinder!

So, as most of you know I cashed out my bankroll from Partypoker and moved it over to Stars. I also picked up a gorgeous new 22" widescreen monitor, which in conjunction with my old 19" setup has me able to play 10+ tables with ease.

I decided to start with a $500 roll and see how I would do moving from 6 max to full ring, playing 10+ tables at $25 NL. Unfortunately, I hit a very, very ugly downswing for around ~8000 of my ~17,000 total hands so far. That said, the game is so soft my bankroll is up 5 buyins, and my Sklansky buck calculation has me beating the $25 NL at a very solid 4.25 ptBB/100, which I'm very pleased with. Had I been sucked out an average amount of times, according to the EV calculation, I should be up an additional $150 at the moment. Once I grind it up to $1000 I'll be moving up to $50 NL, and I sure hope there fish count doesn't drop drastically.
