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!

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.

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.
