Theres also the 280FPP multi that pays off the top 6. Was usually an easy one to cash. Keep up the grind. Been great reading. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDonk1989 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Is there any special series for pokerstars in the summer? I think fulltilt has a mini series. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDonk1989 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Playing 12 tables of 10nl. Bankroll is at $424 Link to post Share on other sites
TheDonk1989 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 I havent updated in a while. My bankroll is at $450, I'm going really slow. So far I've went from $400 to $440 4 times. I win $40 and I've lost $40 4 times, that isn't an exaggeration. I'm making this update because I just won a ticket to pokerstars' Sunday Million. I bought a $7.50 step 1 ticket and finished top 2 in 3 tournaments in a row.I am hoping to atleast cash, $300 would almost double my bankroll. If I can make a decent run, I might be able to make my 1k goal.What's with the forums being all wierd? It's clumping all the posts together. Link to post Share on other sites

You have to change back to 'classic view' and it will go back to the way it was before if that is what you want. Link to post Share on other sites

IMO... Link to post Share on other sites
droberts 3 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 ya if u are just trying to go to $1000 i would def cash out that ticket. $200 is half ur roll right now.i been playing 5NL lately, 4 tabling and having good results so far. Running 83BB/100 for 470 hands, haha if only that were like 25,000 hands. Link to post Share on other sites

IMO...Trust me if I could cash out the ticket I would've already have done so.Step tickets are not redeemable for cash, you cannot cash them out at anytime.I need to play in the Sunday Million, or continue with the steps program and I don't think I wanna risk it.

Now I'm doing $3 45 player sng's and I'm having very good results from these.I've played 23 of these sng's and have a $81.25 profit. I've only been doing this for 3 days.

RISEorFall 0 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 ive only skimmed through some of this, but i got one piece of advicewhen people offer you advice, you should atleast listen. not everythings going to be great advice, or even good. but especially when posters like antistuff try and help, you should be thankful and listen to them. theyve been through what youre trying to do and know what theyre talking about. you are doing yourself a huge disservice with this "oh i won the hand so wtf ever you dont know what youre talking about" attitude. youre very lucky if they keep coming back and trying to help.

TheDonk1989 0 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 May I ask where you learned to play the game? You seem to be on a steady progression upward so you must be doing something right.I've been playing for 20 months, just with a bunch of friends at a home game. Since then I've read every poker book I could get my hands on and reread the majority of them. I've watched a lot of poker strategy videos and I check in on some strategy forums. I've played a lot of poker also; live with my friends or online. Link to post Share on other sites

I have really improved and I take coaching whenever I can get it. I have apologized to antistuff but you read the story out of context. I commented on his online bankroll management philosophy negatively so he came to this thread and commented back. His comment seemed more like a bash than actually advice so that's why I commented the way I did. So now I take coaching whenever I can and I've learned from my mistakes.~Thanks for the advice!

TheDonk1989 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 I started playing 25nl, 12 tables. I won $26 my first session and lost $8 the second session. I consider the 2nd session a victory because at one point I was down 2 buy ins. I try to play 1,000 hands a session and that's about an hour. On the week days I've only had time to play 1 session a day. Link to post Share on other sites
