First the ## is not an error, my bankroll is now at a point that i think its not very wise to put it all over the net so everybody can read and know how big my roll is.
2nd this thread is not a brag, i just write this thread to show other ''beginner'' poker players that its not that difficult to make some money with online poker.
I play sometin like 1,5 years now and just grind the SNG mostly multi DoNs. I dont see myself as a good player, just play abc poker, i am just a littl better then the average players at my stakes.
I also want to mention the importance of a good rakeback deal at the pokerroom you play, i calculated allmost 50% off my roll is made outoff rakeback/bonusses/points.
So dont think its impossible to make some cash at online poker, if i knew it was that easy i wud start a hell lot off sooner with poker

Congratz mate! I play at FTP and one thing that im pissed is that there isn´t those Double or Nothing tourneys. I´d like to try them up but I shall wait when these ultimate bankroll builder SnG`s comes to FTP...
And where do youu take your rakeback offers? Is it some kinda site or only some bonuscode used while registering? And can I get still some rakeback offer if I´m not a first time depositor anymore?

first of all congrats man, then I have a Q for u, I read in other posts you often "work" at reload bonuses (I guess are the ones you get after a deposit; isn't it?) If it is so this is my Q: is it allowed to make a withdrawal and then a deposit (similar or same amounts) and get the reload bonus? or make a deposit then a withdrawal and get the bonus?

Well, at the site i play, PKR, they warn you its not allowed, but i dont have all my money at PKR, its on moneybookers/PKR/neteller, so yes i allways redeposit my own withdrawal money, they cant proove anything and wont do. So yes u can do but be carefull and dont do it days before the new reload

Congrats doomdy, I am glad to see you have reached a good ## I'm also glad to see you hiding the numbers, it's nobodies business to know that anyway. I have also picked up some tips from reading your emails for online poker. So thanks. Just from reading and posting in forums I have learned about rakeback and how important it is, deposit and reload bonuses. Like you said, alot of it does come from applying these tools in building a bankroll. I am currently starting from a min deposit and growing something out of nothing. It takes a while but keep at it long enough and it does grow after time.
This is for joulukinkku, look at the top of the BRM page here and click on "Rakeback" then look into it. It's worth doing over taking a NDB anyday.

Yes I ment bank or such with safety net. I don't think theres any refunds if your Neteller/Moneybookers/pokeraccount gets hacked. I moved my $ when it got to 2 digits for security reasons.

What are you now rolled for NL600?

Depends on bankroll management I would say NL200 (100BI's), but doomdy plays $11 DONs (1800BI's) so after doomdy's brm he's rolled for NL10 cashgame....better safe than sorry
