Grinding $100 max

I got back from PSU today around 1pm and started playing shortly after that. I played about 550 hands of .5/1 again, and it was another good day. I ended up finishing at +$154, so a little over 1.5 buy-ins. This graph is rare in that I was basically never in the red except for the first few hands.

I really feel I can make more money at $100 max on Full Tilt then I can playing $200 max on Pokerstars, and I have done really well at $200 max on stars. The account is at $2600 and I'm still debating whether I should just deposit another $7500 or so I can start playing 2/4 or if I should just grind it up until I have $4000 in the account so I can move to 1/2. Then when I get to $8000 I can move to 2/4, etc...just keeping 20 buy-ins for each level.

This was the only hand worth posting, and I nicely picked off a bluff. When I got check raised, I felt it was either a draw, another Jack, or air and nothing stronger. This board misses a lot of my range so a check raise bluff isn't too out of line. I would've included a set in this range, but a set never check raises and then checks the turn. I checked the turn back for pot control and to induce a bluff. It worked and he ended up bluffing with 9 high.

Tomorrow is my TV date and I am having a little party at the Mill Street Grille to watch me lose a bunch of hands. Lauren is coming in for the whole day, so I can't wait for that! Now I just need to think of something to do...
