Moving up

Had my worst session and worst day of the year yesterday, so it's clearly time to move up in stakes.

An odd reaction, one might think, but bear with me. You can play for many weeks at a particular level before you get an "outlier" day, but I've now had a couple in two weeks (one was plus $591, the other was minus $570), and such excessive swings make you more accustomed to the necessarily greater volatility at a higher stake.

In addition, I'm still more than 30 buy-ins up at $100NL since mid-August (that doesn't count bonuses and rakeback), so I've got the financial cushion (well, I've allowed myself five buy-ins before I reconsider) to remain on target for the year, even if I suffer a loss.

The most amusing story of this morning is that I tried to log onto Cantor Index this morning, only to find my account was suspended. After a couple of communications, I was told that, because of a comment I made in this blog, the company was closing my account.

I await the letter and the cheque, just to see what Cantor has to say for itself.
