Brag: Tripled my bankroll with a tournament score
 

I just took down 2nd place in WPX's VIP event ($5k added) for $1,238. That may be just another day to you high stakes winners (not even a good day for some), but before this my complete bankroll was about $600.

So... yeah. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

x = 600
tourney win = 1200

600 + 1200 = 3(600)

?

^plz look at it again, sir.

Re: Brag: Tripled my bankroll with a tournament score
 

His $1238 win gives him a $1838 bankroll, meaning he 3.063ed his bankroll. "Tripled" does not compute. Thankfully we have rothko here to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the 2+2 tradition.

Thank you, all, for the kind words (and amusement). I'm glad I finally have a solid brag to post for once. I'm in a little bit of trouble now, because I've never been in such a new position before bankroll-wise. I'm not sure which level I ought to be playing at given my new roll - I've been playing 25 NL, as the mystery poster above said, but I worry that if I move up so quickly to 100 NL (for example), I might lose too much too fast.
My other option is to make a substantial withdrawal and leave myself more than I had before ($1k or so), since I'm pretty broke in real life. What do you guys think?

Re: Brag: Tripled my bankroll with a tournament score
 

You are probably looking for a serious answer here, and good thing for that because you came to the right place (BBV).

Answer?
Shortstack $5-$10 NL. You're on a heater. No point in wasting that hot fire playing small stakes...

for some reason i lol'd at the last part of your post. summed it up well.

Re: Brag: Tripled my bankroll with a tournament score
 

Well done. That first juicy win is always a fantastic feeling / time.

Withdraw to ~1k and treat yuourself, continue at 25nl until you feel comfortable taking shots at 50nl.

Definatly withdraw $238, treat yourself, spend it on good stuff... thats what pokers all about. Gotta reward yourself [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Grats. Cash-out wsex, FTP 100NL where you will crush.

Re: Brag: Tripled my bankroll with a tournament score
 

Congratulations. I would recommend investing some of your winnings in learning how to play poker

Re: Brag: Tripled my bankroll with a tournament score
 

moveup, btw
i think NL400 would be O.K.

Re: Brag: Tripled my bankroll with a tournament score
 

Thats a great day. Some of these guys are just busting your chops. $1,238x365 days equals $451,870. And if anyone else is making that kind of money or more, they're probably spending too much time talking about poker. (Like me, the talking part that is.)

Re: Brag: Tripled my bankroll with a tournament score
 

Update:

After running good at 100 NL and building up to a roll of $2900 (after a 1k withdrawal), I just took down second in another one of these tourneys for another $1262. It doesn't triple my bankroll this time... but it's still very sweet. I am running white-hot at these things, and it's always nice to get a 126:1 return on your entry for second place.
