I've won 1 already, a $250 freeroll ($67.50 1st), and got 10th place in a $2,000 tourney (1 seat away from winning money)..

I think i'd rather win tourney buy-in money at tables, then play MTT, rather than grinding at .10/.20 limit tables for 8 hours a day.

Plus, i'm not as good at limit as I am at NL, if that makes sense.

edit: I just don't really have the bankroll to be playing big NL games or 1/2 limit tables etc...

If your good with tourneys some sites have "micro SnG's" with buy-ins as low as $1..

Or stick to trying to win freerolls... But on $50 I'd move to a site with micro limits.

yea, its tough though playing microlimits, you win .80 cents and you're not exactly estatic about it. I guess that would be my biggest leak of all, grind patience....

I can win the chips, but I start to lose patience and play looser,

I'm starting to think if i don't see some profits in the next couple months, i just might quit altogether.

Ok this is my suggestion, take all your money and take it to superior poker, they have 1/2/3 dollar sng's (and higher ones of course), you should start of by playing the 2 dollar sng's and build ur BR up from there. The competiotion is easy and Im sure youll do fine and have a BR in no time
