Just completed my op taking $375 to $1,000 at $10nl 6Max. Started out had never played 6max before... and now am rolled for $25NL.
Feeling pretty good... and I ain't even smokin sh!t.... 
Thx peoples -- esp words of wisdoms from Robb, Spoon, Dozer, Dev, Fnord, Jack, Spenda, Jyms, BankIt, Miffed... sh!t I been readin for months and finally feel have made some progress.
But f-it ... this ain't the Academies and sh!t. Just some humble props and appreciations. Now where my papers at???

Very nice work.
Isn't that very nitty BR management you're using though, waiting for 40 buy-ins to move up to 25NL? I'm planning to do it at 25 ... !

Congrats man, you're over a hurdle that a lot of people can't ever get past. Now it's time to flip that experience over and take on 25nl. Good luck.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

2 1/2 months. Started out 2-tabling for the first week or so... added a 3rd for another couple of weeks.... and then 4 tabled the rest of the way. I can't do more than 4-table while trying to work on all the sh!t I gotta work on  Oh... plus I don't see so good and those cards get mad small when I shrinky dink them down to add more tables....

One thing I've learned hanging out on FTR for a year: the nittiest bankroll dudes on FTR seem to have the most long-term success. Hmm...wonder why?
