    Lost a couple blinds-based tournements coz I ran card dead at the ending stages, so I figured I'd up the stakes and play a 'no blinds increases' for $15.00 USD and I won!!!

    Couple of crazy hands:

    Seat 1: bojana55 (2605 in chips)
    Seat 2: IlmariRuth (1395 in chips)
    IlmariRuth: posts small blind 5
    bojana55: posts big blind 10
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to IlmariRuth [Qd Js]
    IlmariRuth: calls 5
    bojana55: checks
    *** FLOP *** [Ad Kh 8d]
    bojana55: checks
    IlmariRuth: checks
    *** TURN *** [Ad Kh 8d] [Tc]
    bojana55: bets 30
    IlmariRuth: raises 30 to 60
    bojana55: raises 80 to 140
    IlmariRuth: raises 80 to 220
    bojana55: raises 2375 to 2595 and is all-in
    IlmariRuth: calls 1165 and is all-in
    Uncalled bet (1210) returned to bojana55
    *** RIVER *** [Ad Kh 8d Tc] [7h]
    *** SHOW DOWN ***
    bojana55: shows [Th Ks] (two pair, Kings and Tens)
    IlmariRuth: shows [Qd Js] (a straight, Ten to Ace)
    IlmariRuth collected 2790 from pot

    The winner:

    No Limit Texas Hold'em Hand, 5.00/10.00, IlmariRuth | BOOM! Hand Replayer
    very nice win , be carefull with your bankroll management.. good luck!

    Thanks!

    It's just that the other two tournements I lost were giving me NOTHING at the ending stages. I figured if I play some1 who's good enough to last long enough to get to that stage, I'm going to have a lot of trouble getting a win together.

    No Limit Texas Hold'em Hand, 10.00/20.00, IlmariRuth | BOOM! Hand Replayer

    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.
