Yeah all the cool kids seem to have one, so i want one too!
I don't post very much on ftr, I spend most of my time here on boards.ie
The story so far is that I started off at .10/.20 with $500 in dec, moved up levels when I hit 20buyins, reached 1/2 last month but went on a big downswing, moved backed down to .5/1 where the downswing continued...
But I'm on my way back up now, after the 2.5k downswing, and over$2k in withdrawals my bankroll is around 3.2k atm.
I plan on reaching $5k and moving back up to to 1/2.
Things are a bit messed up atm, didn't get many hands in this week, the site I play on changed software, and the new software is blocked (I live on campus), so I'm playing a little on differenet sites while I'm waiting for the software to be unblocked.
Someone asked to write a guide on my experience of low stakes grinding and I put this thread together, it's pretty basic stuff but some low stakes players might find something in it.
oh yeah, I won a ticket into the Irish Open which is on next month, so hopefully I'll kick ass in that and win lots of €€€!
let us gogogogo.... |

Yep I am, and no none at all!
I've only been able to put in a few hours there at home as it's blocked in college. So I'm still only getting used to it.
There's no way to datamine at the mo, and pahud doesn't work, so it's not looking great in general, the only hope is that most of the Tribeca players have kept their sn's so the stats you've built up already will still be useful.
I used to play as -kidrock- and shipsherbet btw. |

I play on iPoker a lot, and i can safely say just pick the games with the biggest pots and highest VFP % as i have yet to find a decent player at 50NL or 100NL (mostly 50NL) |
