That is great now what you need to do is stick in limits dont get sitting with 100% or 50% or even 10% of your bankroll play tight buy in no more than £5 per table and you will slowly but SURELY do well if you just jump around limits u will be back playing free rolls dayily for sure my freind. so think time= profit!
thats really impressive, how did you play the R&A tourney as i have only played a few and didnt like them, i found that people went nuts and that if you play conservatively you quickly have a chip stack which is nowhere near the rest of the players, and i didnt just want to keep rebuying like some players do
an example of this was that two players rebuy before we start our first hand and then one felts the other, he know has 4 buy ins vs my one, i dont mind if the chip leader is miles ahead but i found that most people did this and it wasnt very enjoyable.

Thats impressive GJmetal keep up the good work. Here is an example of what not to do. I did yesterday...lol. I deposited $50 on Ultimate Bet yesterday and placed in the money in a tournament and within a few hours had $197. I had been playing for about 6 hours. I went to the .50-$1.00 tables NL and lost all of it within another 3 hours. Playing higher limits tghan my bankroll would allow and playing until I was so tired. Same old story for me....lol. I did have fun though, better than spending $50 for dinner, i guess.

It's like that GJmetal taking control of T6 ...great man keep it up that's a nice profit if you just wonna make bucks then stick to tourneys since it seems that is your force. I think I remember the last wins you told us about was also tourneys? Perhaps we should share thoughts cause im a winnner in cash-games but not in tourneys...the only tourney I can win is a small S&G.
