For about a year now I have been playing at the freeroll and micro levels and have managed to just barely be a winning player. My ROI is about 16%. If you can imagine, at this level this means I have made NO money at all.

I recently read Phil Ivey subsidized his bankroll with earnings made from a part time job. I have decided to jump from MICRO past LOW and settle in at the Medium level and subsidize the level with a taxi driving job. ANY money I make I will invest in my Bankroll.

I am a tounrament specialist and look forward to the slightly smaller field sizes and hope for a more realistic feel at the tables then I get at the MICRO levels. Gameplay at the MICRO level can be really bad because let's face it, people get bored after 2 or 3 hours of play knowing that even first prize will pay only peanuts.

I will try and keept this post updated and let you all know how it goes.
