So I figure I might as well hop on the bandwagon and do some blogs about my recent poker play, lately ive been cooled but tilted, so i unfortunately am back to 0$ on stars and 0$ on tilt... So wish me luck i'm going to try and work my way back up and i figure I wont tend to be as tilted if i gotta tell you all i went busto! GL and i'll post some info on my current day up in a little bit

That's unlucky Jibberish, but I'm sure you will be able to build a bankroll up. The same thing has happened to me - a couple of times. On both occasions I was able to invest more money to my FTP account. It has happened to me again.....................S**T luck I call it, but others may say bad play. Anyway now not working - lost my job too. So no money left. I have been trying to build a bankroll, using Chris Ferguson method and it is working but taking a hell of a long time. I will get there in the end.

it costs like 60$ to buy but you get a free 60day trail, basically it has a little hud on the screen and it will tell you your opponents tendencys based off your hand history with them, it is also great for reviewing your hands seeing where you went wrong fixing leaks, and just keepin track of your winrates, if you wanna be serious about online poker id suggest it, in the time you use the trial you can easily make the 60$ to pay for it

never used a tracker but looks like its helping your game. hard to build from 0$ by playing freerolls, maybe you can try clearing a no-deposit and then depositing to stars/tilt. gl

im not worryed about clearing any no deposits, freerolls are ez im playin the 10fpp on stars right now its got 500$ prizepool im chip leader with just only 448 left of the 3801 we're already in the money since 585
come rail me if you want stars username is jakefauteux
------------ went busto on 148th due to some bad runs but its cool i still won 60 cents
I think that on Stars it's quite easy to win some money. I don't say that you can win it quick, but with some patience & good play you can easily build a decent roll in a month or something like that, and then for example start playing small stack on NL2 (you need like $20). I've used to play many freerolls and I've built a few rolls quick, but even quicker I gave it all back
Anyway good luck, also if you can then it's good idea to buy PT or HEM (I'm using HEM, I tried both trials and I like HEM more than PT), it has a lot of HUD stats and also plenty useful post-game things like leak buster and also some stuff that is more useful than some tools saying "you should do *blah blah blah*", because it forces you to think where you made mistake on your own basing on your stats. It's always better to figure something on your own
@SuperNoob - many people say different things about tracking software, but IMO those who say it doesn't help you are using it in a wrong way or can't understand it, simple like that. If you know what each stat means and how to react to each combination of stats then it helps you a lot. And of course it's almost impossible to play your A-game on 10-20 tables without HUD

I have been looking at your graph and looks like two things i have noticed: 1st, you need to play more if you want this results to have some significance in your life. You have only 2,000 hands at the graph, that is few. Anyone analysing your graph would say "there is still nothing to analyse, there no time for that". It like the first two hours of stock exchange in Wall Street; it can happen lots of ups and downs,but its just the begining of a day. You have to wait a year to hear about company's results, or at least a semester. One cant play two games, winning one and loosing another, and saying everybody he is an avarage player. 2nd, most of your winnings were showdowns, need to say anything else? Dont judge me wrong for telling you this, but its still early to analyse. From 0$ to 0$ in 2k hands its normal.

Yes good luck to you I myself am going to buy in next week and keep to a good MBR. Stay away from the roulette. I got 100 pounds to 3k then lost it playing way to high and playing roulette, so good luck to you and good luck to me. Keep to good BMR and you won't tilt if you want a bit of adive.

Good luck. regarding Poker Tracker, i thing that this is very good poker tool, but the best poker tool with HUD is Holdem Manager. I think that he also have free trial. Whit this tool you will have some easy decision, and you know how you opponent plays.
