Me and Poker... What the future may bring!
I am a micro-stakes (25NL) player on party poker. This is mainly because of my bankroll. I would definitely like to move up but I am only at $430. I began serious online playing with a $250 deposit on Party Poker at the beginning of July. As you can see, I have been a member here a lot longer than July 2006, but before I won money off restricted freerolls at AP. Even when I won large amounts ($200) in one freeroll, I would just lose it because I had no info on BR management or multi-tabling or a TAG strategy at micro stakes.
Anyway, after my first month I have had a couple downswings and bad runs of cards (I play a lot everyday, but no sure how many hands - 4 tabling) but I ended up with a profitable first month. I am up about 7 buy-ins after my first month. So why am i saying all this you ask?...
Well, I know its only been a month, (and I am still a relative beginner) but I know that the way I play at 25NL i wont lose all my money cuz the ppl practically give me their money sometimes. Also, I know this because my profit came completely from my play. No rakeback, No PockerTrack or PO. No PokerAceHUD.
I feel I can definitely move up in stakes and be profitable at other stakes besides 25NL, but my first question is how can i get RB on party with an existing acct? I love the fish here and there are more than other sites so I am not considering moving. I want the fish + rb. I cant get PO or PT or PAHUD because i am too young for credit card or neteller. I use the usemybank option to deposit on PP and that is the only one I can use. That also means that I cant close/open my PP acct to set up rb.
Therefore, my question is... how can i become more profitable? I think these tools would make me much more of a winner than I am now and currently i am doing well with just my brain at the table. Even if i sustained the amount I am winning now with these tools, I would be happy incase I am just getting lucky.
Please give me advice.
TY

Do you practice good seat selection?
I ask this because this is an immensely profitable technique that new players drastically underrate. If you don't practice seat selection, then start doing so now and your profit margin will go way up. As you move up in stakes, seat selection becomes even more important.
I can't really speak for NL because I am primarly a LHE player, but I'd imagine that this is as important if not more important in NL as it is in LHE.
