I made a $50 deposit at Full Tilt a year ago and lost all of it in less than a month. I stopped playing poker because of school and started playing about 3 months ago. I didn't want to deposit or play free rolls so I asked the high rollers to transfer me $10 on FTP 3 months ago, 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, and I cashed out $2000 from it. If you don't believe me, you can check my tournament stats at www.thepokerdb.com (username: nanamar05) at Full Tilt.

After cashing out $2000, I had ~$600 in my account. I was over my head and started playing $1/2NL cash games (I am terrible at cash games), and lost $400 and went on super tilt and lost my entire $600, and was left with $0.45 in my account.

I was going to deposit $100 in my account, but decided against it and asked the higher roller tables for money again. One fine gentlemen transfered me $5.50, and I started playing heads up $5 sit and gos....and 2 days I made $150. It's been 4 days since I got that $5.50 and as of now my bankroll is at $320.67

You can check my sit and go stats at www.sharkscope.com, username: nanamar05, server: Full Tilt.

I made all that just by multi tabling $5 heads up sit and gos. I am going to follow proper bankroll management and will move to $10 sit and gos once I get my roll to $500.

I wrote all this because, Jesus Chris Ferguson ain't got shi t on me. I started with $0 and made ~$3200 in less than 3 months.

Anyone else have similar stories where they took $0 to a respectable amount in a short period of time? Or am I the only superstar who can do that?

Come find me at the $5 sit and gos at Full Tilt.

For karma's sake, you should seriously return the w $10 loans you got from the high rollers.

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.
