    nice job, man...What's your background again? I mean, when did you start playing 10NL/25NL whatever, and when did you move up to 50?
    I started playing probably 5-6 months ago. I think I moved up to 50nl in the latter part of November. I made a post in the 2008 results thread that explains my foray into cash games in a little bit more depth.

    If I'm underrolled, would playing .05/.10 on FTP with 40 bbs instead of 100 bbs be a good idea?
    This is a post I made from the challenge thread six months ago. I started the year with no money and I got started with real money in April with a 20 dollar transfer from a friend at Full Tilt, rakeback, and a dream (jk about the last part). I initially grinded sngs until I figured those were a waste of time and I decided to take a shot at 10nl in like June I guess. I grinded that for maybe a month or so and got a decent amount of rakeback so I could move up to 25nl. Since then, I have moved up to 50nl and have had back to back 2k months which is really nice money for a college grinder. The road hasn't been all smooth however, as I can remember multiple days where I almost tilted off my roll by taking shots at MSNL, I think I had like multiple -500 and more days when I was playing at 25nl where I played like 2/4 on tilt. Those days set by progress back a ton and I've learned that bankroll management is one of the most important things in playing poker and tilt control is another tremendously important aspect of playing poker seriously. Cheers, and gl to everyone in 2009. year.jpgPlus, probably 3k in rakeback/bonuses

    Bleh lost two buy ins today to cap off the month and the year. Kind of swingy month, but shipped another 2k month. Kinda felt meh about my plays sometimes, figured out it wasn't best to apply some high level concepts from Raptor at 50nl (plus I was probably applying them wrong), etc. Pretty much all 50nl. Probably gonna move up to 100nl next month.december.jpgty challenge thread for a great year.

    Hmmm...maybe your Bojangles is different than my Bojangles. No drive-thru, waitress brings menu and check, full bar, etc.
    yeah sounds a lot different. no waitress, just a walk up line, drive thru, no alcohol, a ton of them around the area, etc. Still fried chicken though, which is what I go for.

    From my house I can be at any one of these in less than 5 minutes.edit: I wouldn't call Bojangles fast food.
    really? They have drive thrus and they have the same kind of cashier set up as other fast food places. iunno, seems pretty fast foody to me. lucky for us, there's a ton in the south. :club:

    Ugh for an ingrown I always just dig around and painfully pull it up so that it stops growing into the skin. No idea how that works when the nail is just growing.BTW - after 90k hands of 6 max limit the past 3 months and a wicked downswing the past 3 weeks I decided to try NL 6 max cash for a break. I would appreciate any advice and please forgive my newbie questions. I plan to use any earnings as a supplemental income source to pay down credit cards.What's a realistic winrate at the $50 tables?Does a 30 buy-in bankroll sound standard for my situation?I played 4 hours last night on 4 tables and made 5 buy-ins and had no trouble making folds. The control I felt was a great relief after feeling at the mercy of the cards this month in limit.
    Yeah I think Rdog said in his well that he would maybe have a 5 ptbb/100 winrate at 50nl in the current online climate, so that's a good rate to shoot for. gl, keep playing the unlimited hold thems.

    ORLY?Sounds handy, whereabouts is that, i didn't spot it when lookin?
    I think you have to be selected for their beta. I did it, it was pretty quick I think; you can select any number of hands. RE: Full Tilt Support, they've actually been very quick answering my stuff as of late. This should probably go in SI's signs of the apocalypse.
