ok so i'm beating the $4 180's. i've had some early success in the $20 180's... i've just started adding them into my routine... playing them regularly for about 3 weeks.
bankroll is now $4500.
i want to add some higher buy in regular MTT's. but i want to gradually move up and not just jump in over my head. it's always better to have some success while you are learning... rather than just jump in with all the sharks and get discouraged.
what is my path master jedi? |

Wow, I thought I was conservative! I'm playing the $12s with half your roll. Throw in the occasional $30 and see how you do. That's what I did and now, well... back to $12s.
If I had the time, I'd play some $10-15 megaplayer (>500) tourneys and go for a big score. Keep the 180s as your bread and butter though. |

| stick to 100 BIs and it will be impossible to jump above your level, you can certainly beat 3 rebuy, 20 FO types. There are a few sharks there but not enough you should avoid them. Honestly until you get to 100 FOs or the 20 RB it will be really rare to have a 'bad' table, as you move up you will always be surprised how much people suck. |

yeah i built up $100 to 2k playing the $4 180's. so its not like i was needing that much just to play the $4 180s. then had a 2.5k week last week.
yeah i think i'll stick to 20 FO types. i used to want to try and beat the 3r's but anymore i just hate trying to beat out 3500 people. the around 20FO types seem to usually have half that many at the most.
i need to sign up at FTP as well. i like that they have 20FO's running almost every 2 hours everyday. plus the Bonus is a no brainer that i've just never done. |

| can you give some tips how to beat the 180 tourneys? prizestructure looks tempting. and how quickly do they fill up on PS? on FTP it usually takes a while even at the lowest level. |

the $4's fill up very fast. 1 every 15 minutes... during peak hours in the evening (usa time) they fill up even faster.
play abc poker. raise to 7-10bb in first two levels. in later stages... no one is "re-stealing" light from the blinds. |

| Get a Full Tilt account with Rakeback and play there for the most part. It's a better site than Stars for the buyins you play. |

| better for 20-ish buy ins you mean right? the <10 buy ins on FTP seem to take forever to fill up. |
