Five thousand hands. Likely stat post at roughly 10k. Currently on a downswing with the wrong end of set over set, straight over set, flush over straight, straight flush over boat, and then some fun cases where I catch a straight on the river and someone makes their flush, or fills up, or I catch a set to a straight.

This is not my happy face.

I'm not too upset about it; sometimes you're just destined to lose money. I've been avoiding doing stupid things for the most part, and sooner or later there'll be positive variance and it will be a happy day.

How long do most people spend at their first level before moving up?
