After 1000 games you should have a lot of money :-? i think... if you played 1000 games and no profit you wasted your time i hope in the next 1000 games you make 1000 profit do you play live? hope live you're profit is high than PKR... all the best and waiting you with updates.

to be fair i lost alot in the begining but i the last 400 im up about £250 so thats about $390 so there is improvment and i have a positve ROI . only i keep raising the stakes after a good win and start playing bigger tounaments which i shoudnt do.

At least looking at your graph you've made vast improvements in the last 500 games versus the previous 500 as you stated. It really look's like you on an upward trend and will be interesting to see what it looks like after another 1000 or comparing on two separate charts the 1st 1000 compared to your 2nd 1000 games.

Keep an eye on your bank roll management. Dont over stretch what you have and only go up to 10% so that you dont lose too much and give yourself a chance to recoup if you do. Agree with Macubaas, have a look at some smaller cash games or single table SNG's where good value and practice at restraint can be found.

Posted by Macubaas: These games have high variance and a negative result it's possible but definately you need to make some changes in your game...
Another advice would also be to try some other games too, like cash games and see whats what.
cool i have been playing mtts of variable buy ins but have been thinking of restricting myself to just $6 games, also playing more sits, mabee 3 $6 sits to 1 $6 tourney. also pay a lot of quaifiers to $20+ games because i have a good sucess rate in these games. or mabee play $3.50 MTTs and $6 sits i dunno, deffo need to play wiser with my winnings

thats the plan il dig this thead up when i get to 2000
------------ the only reason im not in the green i think is that after my decent wins i registered in to some $20,$30 and $50 touneys, this is my main downfall

The last 400 hands you made a nice profit so why play other games. You were doing fine at the moment. Always stick to your bankrollmanagement and be more patient. If you wanna play $20 MTT's you should have at least 2000$ on your bankroll. Otherwise you're bankroll will vanish quickly if you make a bad run at the tables.
