So I started out at $0 in my 888 account on Monday. I had gotten some grades back and was feeling a bit down over one of them (first year university) so I decided to hit up some FastFold Freerolls that 888 is doing through april and may to promote their "Snap Poker". I won a couple of dollars, and grinded them to the "Iron"Reward status that allowed me access to 4 $100 GTD freerolls per day.
I made it in 1st for 23$ in the $100 GTD, and worked that up to 125$ with a mix of blackjack and poker. Needless to say, I lost all 125$ by the end of monday. Fuck if I was going to end it there. No, I was at $0, but it wasn't over. I still had 2 tickets left to the $5000 freerolls for Fastfold poker.
I proceeded to win 2$. I got lucky at blackjack and worked that to 50. From there, I played 2 tournaments and placed 10th and 9th for another 50$ in prize money. I played some 0.05/0.10c NLH, and some 0.12/0.25c NLH, and worked the 100$ up to 150$ or so. I then mixed playing, with blackjack and got that up to about 360$ over the course of tuesday and wednesday. Last night I worked that up to 430 with blackjack, and this morning I played some cash games and blackjack and got that to $785. I've had an extreme lucky streak at blackjack, winning maybe 400$ of the 785 (probably closer to 500) but my play method and betting plan has been fairly solid. betting 5-25$ at a time at most, going out if I'm down 50, stopping if I'm up by about 35-60.
But now I'm at $800. I'm thinking about stopping blackjack and switching solely to poker. Not sure. In any case, I'm withdrawing ~$600 of it and leaving 200 to play with
And that's my story of hitting 800 bucks from 0.
Does anyone have any tips or advice for where I should be going from here? SHOULD I quit blackjack if it's been such a nice supplement on the side, or just be EXTREMELY cautious with my blackjack playing? What Stakes/tournaments/SNG's should I be playing from here on out? I've never had more than 20-50$ to play with in the past, so I'm a little overwhelmed right now.
