Time to move up...

I have won $41.60 since September 23 and have received another $51.30 in rakeback. I should get another $50 or so by Friday from rakeback. My FullTilt bankroll now stands at $8092.67.

The last week has been a total rollercoaster as I had lost about $350 Tuesday-Sunday but won it all back and added a little on Monday and today. I'm making a move to 100nl and I may use some of my Ironman medals to buy another $100 cash. 600 medals equals $100 and I have about 900. If I get off to a good start at 100nl I will wait and cash in my medals at the 1600 level for $300.
