QUite downish. Had alot of swings, and i paid for my EPT package in full. Played more omaha nowadays ( so its quite normal)
I am down this year for like 4K atm. It can go up again if I just play Holdem only, but its too damn boring for me. Year is not over yet, so i hope i can climb again to break even or +5K.
I can't say a real figure in public, but U understand that

And how is yours?
Well, just building and building it, hope to reach $20K in 3/4 months so i am right on track cos wanted it before the end of this year. So not bad, the hours do it for me not the big profit a game

Yea last year was 10K right? then ur on rack normally.
I just recently got boned by losing 20BI in a day, wich killed my roll for a sec, coz I took out 7K for the EPT.
Although, I just keep trying to win a big score ofcourse in tourneys. Cashgames have been changed since last year , personally. LAG spaztics have been grown this year.
=> Durrrr ( no need to say more)
How many hours U play per day / week?
------------ Oh yeah and between those things
I am also playing poker for a cause. wich I donate all NET winnings to a goal.
Up to 2.6K now for that ( its seperate from my own roll)

Posted by Flangel: opportunities in wich way?
Well i allways told myself: I go pro/semi pro if i make sometin like 15K/20K a month. But i am still a rookie thought the start is good, first 20K then slowly climb the ladder in stakes, maybe 1 stake higher every year.....

Posted by Flangel: Agreed, but it takes ages.
Thats why I keep playin the 300$+ buy in tourneys also to score big once. and some live events can change life for good.
True, allthough i ve very big roi on MTTs i dont feel very comvertable on these, i am too tight in late stage off the tourney, must steal more, must play wider range........

Well my post-flop play sucks a littl bit imo, cos i play so many DoNs it ruins my game a littl... DoNs is just uber nitty, play monsters ultra agressiv else fold.

Deffo U need to be postlop player or Ur boned anyway. I play postflop most of the times or 3 barrel shooting with air. I never give up with barreling, because I have no value in SD.

Well in DoNs u dont need much post-flop play. Its just wait for monsters and if not gettin it its just fold or shove mode Easy on auto-pilot to multi them big

DoNs are a bit boring yeh true, its like anti poker most off the times, but for rookies like me they real nice bankrollbuilders and great way to learn poker, learn BRmanagement, Tiltcontroll, ect, ect. First build a roll and decent poker then next step we ll see....

Don't consider urself anymore as a rookie Stats says all => Consistent play imo.
Just I dunno ?? => try to make ur pokerhours less boring ( bad expression maybe ) but switch slightly to other variants, or reg cash ? That will prove U are steady enuff and skyrocking high.

Well yes i do consider myself as a rookie np, i know i am not bad but i make sometimes horrible decisions, fact is average online player at the stakes i play (SNG $5-$50) are shocking bad so i make money on them. I keep my positiv roi on every stake $5 too $50, dunno which higher stake will crush me atm, at $100 i am problably slighty in profit, above must be break-even or littl down.
Well i meant DoNs are boring in general, atm i play 50% DoNs, 45% phases and 5% MTT. So the play not really boring too me, its just all SNG (DoNs/phases/regular) gettin a littl bit auto-pilot too me, i know wot i need to play to make it EV+, tight beginning then when bubble just ICM so very auto-pilot.
CASH? Hmmm dunno why but i hate cash, never feel comvertable with CASH, feeling a bit CASH donky though i am sure i am not losing money on NL50 and lower, but atm no CASH for me...

OK reasonable explanation. Just I don't like the auto pilot thingy. But noone can force U off something, if its the comfortzone, why leave indeed?
I know loads of 50NL /100NL players that are actually made or can handle 200NL easily, but they don't have the comfortzone on those stakes.
it's a decision U make up for yourself. Cash = can be tricky, especially when U don't have a high tiltlevel / or get easily burned by spews.
I play all , but MTT for the win imho. Just one big score I wanna achieve , like the 250K i play every week. In the passed I made so many final tables on MTTs, but not often 1st place => thats what I need, a big 250K/500K/1 million 1st place, I am not satisfied anymore with FTable top ten finishes anymore

1st FTW
Yeh best is to satelite the big buyinns i guess, but u allready do if i am right. Satelites are in most cases real easy, 30% get paid in most times, sometimes even more. 100% play MTT make u problably more profitable but varinace can be insane cos if ur doin it right its true u must play for first place, thats means risks, u can have NO itm streaks off many MTTs and then when playin big buyinns Bankroll goes down really fast
