Today I took the advice of several posters here. I put the Mastering No-limit hold'em next to my terminal and followed it to the best of my ability.
Stats for today.
217 hands at NL50 FTP
190 minutes
PT BB/ hour $42
I did get lucky a few times and I did get smacked a few times.
One day does not make a trend.
With my $249 MTT win I have a nice little BR at FTP.
