how standard are 10BI downswings at 25NL in 25K hands? I thought that 6BI was about as much as you should loose at these stakes...

Sir, did you get rake back at Full Tilt as well? ie, when you got your bonus, did you also get rakeback at 27% on all the hands that you had played to clear the bonus?

I've calculated that I'll need to play roughly 65,000 hands at 50NL with an average rake of $0.20 to clear the $600 bonus. You need to generate $16.67 of rake to get $1 bonus, so that makes a total of $10,002 rake to clear the $600. With rakeback at 27% I'm hoping this will give me $2,700.54 on top of the bonus and any playing profits = very tidy bankroll expansion. Do these figures seem right to you - It works out at roughly 550 hands per day for the 120 days you get to clear the bonus, which means 4 tables 2 hours a day minimum.

Hi.

Don't know where else to put this but new to the forum so hello. I live in London UK and I like to poker. Been playing and studying only about 6 months intensely. After donking around and learning the hard way I'm just about to embark on a properly managed bankroll expansion mission from the ground up. I look forward to working with you all.

i think playing on a proper br solves half the problem of beating low stakes cash games. using uNL well can get you a long way towards solving the rest of it.

You have made me feel much better about poker, I was getting a bit worried with everyone going on about 10-15BI downswings...

Ty sir and ty Matrix for the greeting. My last bankroll went south after I took a successful shot at higher levels, and decided to stay there underolled. This was working fine for a few weeks until a bad run followed by the tilt left me busto. So this time I plan to build strategically and not jump up levels until the roll is well padded. Seems to be the way forward.
