I went it full way, and holy fuck that volume is insane. It gets around 2,1k hands an hour.
I'm deeply rolled to do stupid stuff at NL2 atm, I'm around ~$400 last time I looked at the cashier, it has been a while, but it's not saturday yet. 
So, lack of updates, but I'm not dead.
Think I just fell asleep with the amazing speed of poker at PKR, but at least I got silver again, so that's good right?
Not playing 24 tables anymore, not even at cash games or NL2, back to SNGs after a short break, and shockingly, not because I've had a downswing, just started to feel like a robot when I've started taking shots at NL10.
I'll update everything later this week, but so far not having much time to type things, even my main blog is dead atm, pretty sick last few couple of days.
As usual, thanks for your time.
if you were playing NL2 just to get back in the games there was no need to put volume, you should instead play less tables and pay attention to what your opponents are doing.
I think for those who are used to sngs it seems standard to play a lot of tables cause sngs decisions are based on less variables than 3 street cash game ones, when you dont pay attention on what kind of things your opponents are doing regarding ranges and sizes and stuff like that you miss on how to exploit them, and this is the mantra of cash games: exploit your opponents

Couldn't agree more. I've noticed that my hourly rate was super higher when I turned down the volume at NL10 — playing only 9-12 tables at that limit.
I've had a bunch of experience on both fields, but honestly I'm happier in SNGs, did that insane volume at NL2 because it was as an experience, now I'm happy griding back the SNGs. Just wanted to know how would I cope and get some situational experience. Also, didn't ended that bad, doing 8.9bb/100 at NL2, and 7.8bb/100 at NL5, with somewhere around 70k hands each.
I'm pretty sure I'll return at the cash games later on, but for now I'll stick back at a mix of STT and 180's at PokerStars.
