Hi Guys,
I would like to share my bankroll turnaround and hear about any of your dramatic bankroll swings.
I credited Walker Poker with $25. On the first night I got it to $45.97.
The next couple of days, well goodness knows what the hell happened but I managed to let it drop to $2.67 . I have only been playing since January but what unfolded over the 3 days after that was nothing short of amazing (by my standards). I took $0.80 Cent from my $2.67 and a couple of days later I now have $25.46.
Do you have any stories of how you turned a pittance into a decent amount.

good job man.. at least someone is having a bit of luck. I have been on such a bad streak lately its becoming ridiculous. I just cant seem to get out of the bad luck run im on and no matter what i do i constantly get outdrawn on for instance yesterday on pokerstars i flop quad 10's only for the turn to be Q the river to be Q AND THE GUY HAS qq IN HIS HAND... I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE TO BE HONEST BUT AS I SAID , THATS HOW ITS BEEN FOR LIKE 4 MONTHS NOW!!!

Oh Dear, that does suck thats kind of what it was like for me on my down hill spiral and it's so bad whenever you get a good hand or even great hand someone always seems to have better. But at least the Mighty Liverpool humped Arsenal good and proper eh

The best ive done is when i won 1.20 in a freeroll on pokerstars. Not that 1.20 is my best win.. But i started with a 1.20 SNG and won that. I did that a few times till i was on $10. Then i started on the $5.50 tables and made it to $300 in 5 days. Suddenly i couldbt win a single SNG anymore so i cashed out at $250 And now i only try to catch freeroll money so i can do the same thing again.

I´ve build up through freerolls on Pokerstars: took 14th place of 4500 entrants to make $10. Then i started on SNGs and $1 MTTs, just a few weeks ago i hit 2nd place ( lost with JJ against KK) in $1 + added $ 2.1oo, and won $365.... still have $ 282 left.... but the last weeks i´ve been playing 7Stud H/L $0.5/1 limit, and raked alot of player points. Those i´ve invested buying 2 books in the FPP-store; Sklanskys Theory of Poker, and a book on Split-poker by Ray Zee. Watch out up there! coming up fast!
