I just placed 4th in the O.F.C. $5 buyin MTT on FullTilt just over a week ago which gave me back-to-back 4th place finishes in those tourneys (winning a combined total of over $1,400). I finally now feel that I'm comfortably rolled to be playing the kind of mtt buyins I'd prefer to be in ($26 & up) and can kiss the micros goodbye.
What a relief.

Well today I finally decided to bite the bullet and make the move upto 5nl. I had played 52k hands of 2nl with decent results. I was a little short of funds on the bankroll but just decided to go for it.
Well after my first session I am now properly rolled for 5nl with $106.85. My plan is to stick with 5nl until I am properly rolled for 10nl with $300. I have set a stop loss of $40 so if my bankroll gets down that low I will be moving back down but not until then.
Oh side note I had my biggest pot won tonight during my short session at 5nl. So here's a little brag Laughing

This thread has made me pause though - the last time I actually *achieved* something in poker was months ago when I FTed a $10K freeroll, or maybe when I moneyed in my first (and only to date) $33 SNG. But it's okay to just keep on keeping on, right, working the BR up ever so slowly, enjoying and learning the game?
Glad you beat the suckout

Took me 3-4 months to make my first $500. In the 5 months since then I've made $16.5k. Welcome to the fast lane bro.

Since I joined FTR in January, I've increased my BR from $161 to $311 today. This is from playing in only 78 SNGs, mainly $3.40 single table turbos along with a couple of $2.20 - 180-man turbos. Thanks everyone on FTR for all your help!

And even better all of my BR came from 4 free-rolls I entered on Poker Stars that netted me a whopping $7.50. One of these days I'm going to post a big MTT score!

I think It'd be a good idea if everyone here posted their accomplishments in this thread so we can keep track of who's doing well in what.

Doesn't matter what it is,

Won your first SnG?
Just got bankrolled for 25NL?
Came in the money for the first time in a MTT?

Just post what ever you did that made you slightly proud today. Tell us about it.

A ha ha ha Very Happy

It's called the new depositor's $20K freeroll on Titan. When you deposit you get one token to the NDF (which I used in the first week, big mistake) a couple more tokens to the NDF satellites, and a token to a RB+AO thing that they do twice a month. So I still have another NDF satellite token and I can do it all again, try to beat teh high score Smile

I've gotta say it's really all about patience, discipline and to paraphrase Stacks, Spenda et al, "NEVER F****ING MINRAISE!" All these things I've learned by absorbing the posts here.

I actually sat out the first 15 min or so as an, *um*, emergency came up (never start playing right after brekkie!) so I sat back down to a 7-player table, which is close to the 6-max I'm used to.

Once I built my stack a little with premium hands and proper raising, I started to really push the little stacks one by one. Now I know what it's like to be the big stack, always stealing, shutting down aggressors with re-raises etc. I WAS A GOD!!!

Ok, it was only the $1.00 +.20 on PS, but after so many 2nd and 3rd place finishes, my 1st 1st feels good!

Thanks to the regs here for all the knowlege I'm acquiring.

What do you play?
Mostly full-ring limit at the moment. Some SH limit. Some NL for the fun of baiting people into calling my all-ins. I've also been playing around on the new thirty minute sngs (hellkat) that party offer. The occasional NL 50player sng.

At what stakes do you play? micro.
Limit - usually .25-.5 and .5-1, have experimented successfully with 2-4 but got scared (need a bankroll first!).
No Limit - $10 & $25
SnG's $3, $6, $11

How long have you been playing?
Travelling in South America and met a swiss guy who claimed to be making money from online poker. Started about six months ago playing sngs and mtts between surf sessions and bus trips. Won a fifty player mtt early on so thought I could play. Couldn't. The money I lost over that first few months I now consider an investment as i was usually playing only one table and was simultaneously reading a truckload of strategy articles and poker forums.

Where do you mostly play?
Party 'cos that's somehow where I started. Sometime soon I'm hopefully going to deposit $600 at FullTilt for their 100% Bonus and some eventual Rakeback.

Why did you come to FTR?
Cos I was playing only one table and felt like I had time. Stayed cos there is a mine of information here.

Do you have any goals (and how can we help)?
Yep.
Goals. Work on my game and try and close my biggest leaks. Learn to crush the limits I'm playing at. Eventually start to understand poker a little. Build a roll - I cleared my accounts to zero in July. Deposited fifty at party and am trying to turn that into a thousand. Decided to withdraw 400 if I got above 500, did that a few days ago. So now trying to turn 100 into 1000... Then. Do some Bonus whoring/rakeback playing. Draw out more profit. Hopefully roll myself for 1-2limit and 50nl. Become better at 50 player sngs (I'm good at reaching the last twelve, bad at getting
to the last 3).

how can you help? well, I've started posting and am happy to have the flaws in my game and weaknesses of my observations pointed out.

Up to $124 on CakePoker through 4nl. Got a free 50 bucks and been grinding it up slowly over the last few months. Just started taking it seriously the last few days, hoping to make it up to where stacks is at(I can dream Smile).

I know it's not much compared to you bankrollers, but came in 1st in a $60 deepstack at my local cardroom, payed $600 for only having 22 players entered.

I coached my wife to a 11th place finish in the $7k guarantee with rebuys. on P.Stars a couple of weeks ago.$8.80 buy in and one rebuy she was so stack by break i didn't think 3k in chips was going to make much difference since it wasnt going to affect her M-zone more than a couple of points.She should of made the final table but River Stars being ,,well River Stars her AQ suited had a dominating lead over A9 off suit was well... rivered by the 9.Anyway, it's her bigest cash in an MTT and now she's pumped just wanted to brag on my girl.look at her rankings on topshark for P.Stars she's got better numbers than me,the coach.!!She needed very little help 2 to 4 hands tops she was going to call with that i told her to fold.her screen name is FatBotemGirl.she took $366 in this score..

Think this is the right place for this....

Wanted to share my GRADUATION FROM 5NL, moving up to 10NL (10 BI shot)!!

THANK YOU FTR, owe all the success to you guys, this site rocks, please let me know if I can ever do anything to help.

2NL: +$100 over 17,400 Hands (+14.5 ptbb/100)
5NL: +$203 over 24,100 Hands (+8.4 ptbb/100)

Little disappointed in the deterioration in win-rate, although still decent.

Hoping 10NL goes well, THANK YOU AGAIN for your awesome advice and counsel!!

Hit my bankroll mark to move up to 25NL after winning 50BI at 10NL over 4 weeks !

Check out my blog at http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/forum/operation-blog-big-bets-babes-and-booze-t85738.html#898504

Would really appreciate some thought on moving up to 25NL.
