A year ago I had just started playing online. May 2004 was my initial deposit of $50. By August I had worked it up to $500 or so. I busted up a few low buy-in MTT"s and worked my way up through the limits. After 120,000+ hands at 5/10 and 10/20 full and 200k hands of limit playing semi-full time I have taken a break from limit and gone back to busting up MTT's. 4 tabling makes your eyes and brain bug out. Limit treated me well and I cashed a good amount of playing money into my personal expenses during this period. I made a deal with my wife to take $1200 out of my bankroll every week. This is a tough balance to achieve.

Recenetly I had a few big wins and got the MTT bug again. I am waiting to knock out one of the big weekday supers or a 200k/350k guaranteed. Soon the playing bankroll will be close to 8k and I will start buying in directly instead of playing satellites. So far off the initial $50 I am up about 28k. Mainly thanks to this website, good bankroll management, and some books.

I pop in on the 2+2 tables sometimes and I still play 1/2 6-max when I am drunk.
