livb112 graph looks very nice. I want my graph to look like his in a few years. That's cool he plays headsup sit and goes too. I think I'll play headsup after I read some more poker books. I'm trying to bonus whore Its hard for me because I have a hard time to deposit. Once I get money in MBs, everything should be okay to deposit. I'm just with PS cause I can deposit through echeck and I like playing there.
ArcticCorsair, thats a good point. I don't really like 9 handed very much but I can often just blind away into the money in them. I think I'll try some 6 handed and see how they go, I've only played a few of them. Do you like the 6 handed sngs?
this0is0me, for sngs I do something like only risk 5% of my bankroll at a time. And I don't move up unless I'm winning. Like I 4 table the $5 sngs right now. $400 bankroll would be plenty cause I risk $20 each time and thats 5% of $400. My bankroll is $800 so I should move up to $10 games but I'm not playing great right now.

Yeah Yuss when I play stgs all I will play is 6 seat tables,, like I say only 5 to beat rather than 9 and the prize money aint much less,,, the pace of the game is obviously faster and you will have to consider playing hands in a 6 seat that you wont play in a 10 , like I say if your doing ok in the 10 seats stick there but I prefer the 6,,,,,,if you did want to try the 6 start at the 1 or 2 dollar tables to get an idea of the speed and format,,, sure on the 1$ 2$ you are going to have to deal with the donkeys and the crazies but it will give you an idea on the stlye of shorthanded play...........gl

Hehe was exactly the reason why I played fullring when I played S&G but at the higher levels where the competition get higher I don't think you can blind your way in ITM. But really can't say I reached 20$ S&G and decided to switch my primary game to cash shorthanded. Perfect for my aggres style
That livb112 guy/girl must be pretty tough imagine how many players he/she has owned HU to make such a profit/graph, I wouldn't reg. for a HU 1K if he/she was waiting

ArcticCorsair, thanks for the advice. Will try out the 6 man $3.25 turbos, thats the lowest for 6 handed at PS. Next level is $6.60 for no turbo. I hate playing in 9 handed when I'm UTG with a decent hand, never know how to play it. So, going to try 6man.

AC, than the lowest limit is $6.60 for no turbo for 6man or I have to choose another pokerroom. I kind of like turbos, they are pretty fun but too much luck in them
