nycplayer...You say you have $17 now. I played $5 heads up sit and gos when I had that much in my account. I am however, a highly skilled heads up player, so I would recommend you to play $2 heads up sit and go till you reach ~$25-30.

All I did was multi-table $5 HU sit and gos, and played the odd MTTs here and there. Luckily enough, I was able to cash big in those few MTTs I played. In my opinion, best way to built your bankroll is to multi table heads up sit and gos. Nonetheless, I think i am biased here since I am a horrible cash game player.

I think I did get lucky by cashing big on those MTTs. MTTs are the biggest joke ever....In order to win, you must beat all your opponents AK's and you AK's must always beat up your opponents cards. However, my sit and go skills are uncanny. You can verify it by checking my stats at www.sharkcope.com. If I am getting lucky like you stated, then my graph would look a lot different. My graph shows steady +EV.

This is a joke right? You're trying to annoy people surely?

And whats this about? I cant be bothered to look at scope:

[ QUOTE ]
I took the $10 up to $2500. I made $100 playing $5 sit and gos, and then played the $76 buy in tourney $14,000 Guaranteed and finished top 5 twice in a week. That put my bankroll at ~$2600

[/ QUOTE ]

So your profits in the 14K guarantees were zero or you were donking off your bankroll faster than you could get lucky in the MTTs?
