Nice 1 m8, do let us now how its been going this past couple of weeks! Well things are going very nicely over here, alot better than expected in fact... finally moved up to NL10 & things are defintley starting to move forward alot faster esp since i was running really hot for a couple of days on FTP & was up just under +8BI@ NL10. Then things cooled down a lil and was just yo-yoing up and down for about a week after putting in ALOT of volume... which is always frustrating, but this last 7 days has been really solid, managed to hit the $300 mark at which point i withdrew & moved the roll so i could get a FDB + rakeback on cake(also been on the positive side of variance since i got there, luckily! ). So right now sitting pretty at $353, with a $300 bonus waiting to be released once i get the right amount of FPP's. Very pleased that i could take $15 freeroll winnings this far & once i hit the $1K milestone, the next goal is guna be the $5K (hopefully!)

Well played a few sessions on 2c 4c 6 seater tables went in with half the buy ins as i feel a bit rusty and wanted to be careful ...... made a profit of $15.64 ......... So quite happy with that .... its nice to be up after playing on the cash tables ....... saying that the tables on Bigbet have calmed down a lot compared to a couple of months ago where the play was crazy ..... this suits me better can pick up a lot of small pots with less risk ....... so now have a total of $159.66 ...... will continue playing like this for a while and see will it continue ............. hope things are still going well for you

Got $50 NDB on Full Tilt a couple of months back. Always Hold'em. Wasted a lot of time (or not?...learning!!) on freerolls on other sites, on FT etc. Tried cash limit and some buy-in tourneys and gradually built my bankroll down to $6... Then I got serious about "bankroll management" a few weeks back. Started playing 1-table sit&go's, FT point s&g's and tourneys, and built the BR back to:
$ 41.19 Tourny $ 5.50 FT points 735
Discipline seems to be the key...
I'll get back here if when things build up further.
Thought i'd come drop in with a little update. Well not much exciting since last night, grinding slowly but surely in the right direction. I actually went on a horrid downswing when i moved to NL20 recently, dropping 3BI's in one session (2 horror suckouts and 1 tilt move), moved back to NL10 & went on to drop another 4 buyins, quit for about 3 days down $100. After coming back reviewing all my HH, I finally managed to break out of the rut, went on a solid 5K hand heater and finally broke over the halfway mark with $515, lets hope the run continues when i move to NL20
Hello grinders. Seems to have got a bit quite in here lol Anyway il drop a lil update either way. Well my original $15 in freeroll winnings has now officially broken the $1,000 milestone thanks to a sick 10k hand heater the past couple days Prob guna jump into 50NL soon, but 20NL is really soft so looking to get myself 30BI's for 50NL before getting in it. Next milestone is guna be the $5,000. Things should start moving even quicker once i hit 50NL. Oh yeah, i just got 2nd in a $15 tourn last week on Noble using the NDB for a nice kushty $350 Hopefully will build this up to $1K only playing occassionally and prob cashout once i get the 10,000 crowns

ive just found this thread today and well done m8 impressive stuff. wish i found this last week it may have stopped me going on super tilt (maybe). I agree with photo all the same i would like to see more people document there sucess. i was on a great run last week, i came 1st ($266) in a tourny then the next day came 2nd ($230) in one then later that day i got to a FT and came 8th ($130) but then never did so well then went mad last sunday and almost busted myself. almost busto is not so good at all but i have got myself 10th in a points race and will pick up $75 next week but really this is typical of me with my shady br management but im hoping to get alot of it back in the next week. i will be checking out this thread in the future to see how ur getting on see if uve hit the $5k yet gl
Thanks fellas, always good to have the support of the forum regs Photo, just keep plugging at it mate, its all about putting in the volume and time. Cash can have some pretty bad variance (+tilt factor) that just sometimes seems like its never ending; i have had a couple 5k+ hand downswings, where i couldnt win a single big hand, always turning up with the 2nd nuts only to be shown the nuts and it jst feels SICK lol limit your loses, try play breakeven and eventually you hit your heater & u gotta make the most of it, thats what ive found anyways Oh yea and strict bankroll management is a must. Flipped, thats an awesome run dude, got some big cashes in one week! Ive been trying to play more MTT actually, specifically on the noble, we'll see how that goes... and if i suck then its guna be back onto the cash tables Oh and speaking of tilt... i decided to jump on the 50NL on cake,.. well 1 set vs flush and KK vs AA... puts me -$100 not fun in 10 minutes of play and during first shot at new level lol... think i'll stick to the original plan of getting 30BI for 50NL Would love to get more mobsters in here posting there regular progress

whats ur name on cake mast3rkush thats where ive been playing, were u one of the ones who collected a load of my chips? Il be playing on cake this week gave it a little break was just getting no luck at all bit like urself by the sounds of it. The tornys on cake are well worth a shot as long as u dont get robbed they are pretty easy. that bad sunday of mine I had some real bad luck that night, one of them had 10s full of As and the other guy had quad As think that was the hand that set me off n a bad way had bubbled a tourny just before that as well had AQ went all in and guy calls half his stack with 6s or 7s i think it was. been playing on pstar today and been a bit up and down was doing ok at the cash games just 5-10 cent then did the 90 player sng $2 buy in was a complete donkfest but survived then got donked by one guy and he ended up wining it and came 2nd but was not much for that only $33. Lost a bit of that after in a couple of cash cash games tomorrow is a new dawn a new day and got some nice wee freeroll tournys on. Ive got one at 8 its only $250 GTD but only about 90-100 in it so first is about $80 I think. But in the morning i have a fucking monster freeroll for $20k!!! max 4000 runners dont know how many will be in it but im guessing it will be full u would think. So im hoping to play well morro and get the cards also. By the way are u doing the bankroll mob tourny on fulltilt? $10 buy in should be a good laugh Anyway hope u have better luck this week and i may see u at cake my name on there is Flipped but GL and happy grinding
