No "Big Win" - story this, but still... I started out with ndp's on Titan and PartyPoker. Played like a donkey on acid, and was quickly down to a couple dollars on both. Wanted to play on Full Tilt, so I downloaded that, deposited $30 and wooshed down to about $5. So a few days ago I took a deep breath, put the fedora on my head and the Tommy gun on my lap and went in to the mobster zone. Now I'm up to $53 on Full Tilt, and I'm slowly building my bankrolls on Titan and Party as well.

Brm allways makes you better. Playing with not enough buyins leads into tilting, as you will mostly come to a point where you say "f*** it, whether i win nice or i lose this bit money"
I dont know which limit you play but i would allway suggest to play with 40 buyins on no limit, even at the start.

Thanks for the advice. So that's what "tilt" is... I play no limit, small or micro stakes (for now) on cash tables, and s&g's, up to $5 buy in. Just won my 4th s&g in a row. Signing off now before the badbeat hammer hits me.
