Making the switch from live $2/$5 cash game semi-reg to "live" No-limit tournament poker because I'm tired of the weekend grind. Currently playing online (screenname is EpicVKZ) as it appears to simulate the pace of "Live" poker low/mid-stake tournaments the best.
My 16-month goal (2011-2012) is to win enough mid-stakes tournaments/satellite qualifiers to play in and win a World Series of Poker (USA and/or Europe) event or two. Online ROI is 20% (Sharkscope) mainly low-stake practice type events; Live 2011 ROI is 48% playing in low-stake (40-60 player) Ontario and Michigan events.
Best PKR results since rejoining the online world in March 2011:

I might eventually go back to PokerStars in the hopes that my own personal "doom" switch has been shut off as a result of my investment in private poker training (new mentor a recent WSOP circuit event winner), re-educating and anti-tilt techniques.
