Ok, so i've seen some people posting operations
here's mine

I started with a 400$ br that lasted me 6 months, breaking even or losing little... until it ended (thanks to variance, the tilt gods, and some donk plays)

I now have started again with 200$

My first objective is to go up to 1k and reduce my donk plays to the minimum. I've been reading all i can and have been working on my game, i now feel i can beat the low stakes if i don't get away from certain general guidelines.

I feel i have a better understanding of tilt now, but i'll be watching that too

OK, so i started on saturday with those 200$ on 25NL
i've played about 1-2hs everyday and have had 4 winning sessions and 1 break even
I am now at 295$

I play full ring games and low stakes sit n gos
I'll try to post some hands and updates on this and hopefully i'll be up there in no time.

cheers!

gingerwizard is an unknown quantity at this point
GL. There is a danger you may be under rolled so you need to really watch that tilt.

Recommend: Setting aside a number of buyins you're prepared to drop in a session. If it ever goes over that, stop and no excuses. Go crack one out or something
This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

Friday night: -33$

some bad beats (a lot maybe) and i managed to overcome a small moment of tilt and cut my losses (i'm happy about that part)

Total: 282$

Keep trying, gotta keep trying...

Good luck! But following proper BR management you need a bankroll of about $500 to play 25NL. Maybe it would be better/easier to play Sit'nGo's till then, say the $5's?

I don't know..up to you anyway obviously!

when you are playing at 25NL, you will hear a lot about br management, especially when you post a roll of ~$300.

my opinion, you are fine...so long as you set a limit as to when you will drop to 10NL. say, you go under $200 or 20 BI's...then, you need to either drop a level, or reload.

choice is yours...not all of us want to deposit $50 and build it to $10k. some of us are in this for the hobby, and would like to play at a level we feel we can win some decent money at...and stay there until we can beat it...because we dont mind reloading.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

On Saturday, played a few SnGs and went up to 300$

Thanks all for the support and advise, i realise i may be a bit underrolled but i have come to learn that my game improves a bit like this as i tend to play more reckless if i feel my bankroll is big, that's why i did'nt load more for this operation.
