good luck man, you are doing well!!!
Up to $15.00 USD!!!
Won a $3.50 USD then accepted a rematch by mistake so I just gave up!
Edit: In actuality, my bankroll is $9.00-esque but I won a $3.50 USD match and accepted a rematch by mistake then I misclicked and bet 990 on a bluff and he called. T'was stupid, so I won't count it as a loss.

P.S. My heart wasn't in it at all. I got him down to 800 chips then I just didn't have the drive to finish her/him. Lesson learned.
got a subscriber :)
keep up the good work!
good luck, don't use all your bankroll, you can lose it, easy
Got back over the $10.00 mark again.
On Monday I get paid so I'm gonna "top off" my bankroll with an extra $25.00 USD via a prepaid card.
I've "mastered" the $1.50 and $3.50 HU Sn'Gs, so I'm gonna try my luck with $7.00 ones for a bit. Hopefully I can stay alive long enough for my other paycheque to 'top off' again. Gonna keep doing this until I have at least $200.00 in there. The $15.00 players are really good and offer my a good challenge so that will be my buy-in for this year.
This is a big step to routinely deposit enough to get to a big lot, believing I can stay alive or, possibly win money. I agree that $15.00 buy-ins aren't my budget if we're talking about MTT, however I intend to be a HU specialist.
Thanks every1 for congratulating me on my run and giving me encouragement!!! Ship those funds!!!
P.S. Misclicking or being overzealous in general isn't a admirable quality in poker so I now realize that the rematch WAS a loss.
Won the $3.50 USD this way:

P.S. The zero to hero thing was just to give ppl an idea of how easy it is to win money online for free. The real step is whether or not you have the patience and committment to stay at the micros for months at a time until you get a large enough roll to play your desired stakes. I've always had enough money to play 15-30 buy-ins so again, this was just a fun thing for me to do. At the micro stage, you're dealing with people of limited skill (I think I had 3 good games out of 15 for $1.50) so it's just a matter of committment and patience to "weed" out the less committed players. I feel I've done enough micro staking coz I ran pretty far in the freerolls all summer for PartyPoker.
P.S.S. TurkGirl, you're right that mr BR management is wrong, however if I lost it, I woulda bought another prepaid card. I just didn't want to have to deal with the blinds. I think I'm constituting my for-real bankroll with the PokerStars one. I don't know if many people can do that who play at the micros so I'm not elaborating any more. Next paycheque, I'm gonna throw down another $50.00 USD so I can routinely play the no blind increases tournements. Thanks for all your support!

After losing another blinds-based tournement, I'm constricted to the fact that the only real skill in poker is found at 'no blind increases' tournements.
Reason: Ran well in the early stages, however in the later and middle stages I ran completely blank. If anything, the tournements with blinds in them are just for fun.

I see you played some NLHE CAP. I heard from a friend that MERGE will be getting some CAP games soon. Those games have good action. They tend to have more fish.
Check your pvt msg inbox.

So true!
The 'cap' concept tends to lure a lot of fishes. Mostly, for your information, they tend to just use the cap with anything from TT to AA. I've tried using connectors, however the ppl tend to fold A LOT since they don't hit trips or lose their pockets-pair to an overcard.
Took down a $3.50 HU Sn'G!
Woo-hoo!

Got shut out a couple of times on the HU circuit so I took a break. Learned that the idea of 'any two cards' can overcome a breaking point in the match where multiple lay downs could annihilate the whole concept of gaming so some gambling steps are required. Proved some points by calling a hand from start to finish to see if it was a kicker-winner scenario and got him to believe it was a pocket-pair vs. ace matchup which it wasn't:

i have a better plan for the roulette
only for the ones who has like 500$ + ;)
i would need results in order to create a thread such as this.... hmmm lol
I made something like you, I won PO freeroll and earn 3 dollars, after this i stared playing headsups, but im a regular from 60$ HU, so i stared from 3$ to 100 dolars, but after this i play 3 tables for 30 dolars, and loose everyone, just because of bad coin flips AJ>AK
88>10/10, but good luck with you, try to use better bankroll management :P
Wish all good luck and making good decisions as a key aspect to achieve your goals. Also keep in mind a bankroll management, that is a killing point ... wish a good luck at the tables
good ol' bank roll management lolQuote:
