I like how you kept moving up and up! My problem was I would never moved up even though I had a roll to. Anytime I hit alittle downswing I would drop down. Do you really pratice really good game selection for sngs? So you wait till most of the regulars load there game before you start playing? Won't that take forever and last of all did you steal your avatar from the pokerstars guy? =0

Alot of the times, I would just use rakeback to pay for my rent/credit card bills (or money I already had) and keep the rest in my roll, that allowed me to move up.

For game selection, if there are too many good players starting up, I just play a few smaller games, wait until they are done filling up, etc

My avatar is stolen from the Grateful Dead. I've never played on stars, so Im not sure who you are talking about.

Hard to say due to formatted/melted harddrives where I didnt have the smarts to backup before data loss, I would estimate at least 15,000

awesome. I was always aware of who you were cause of your PMs to me awhile back about Kingston home games.

But, for the last couple months, I was very surprised how quick you seemed to jump in limits.

Nice job. I like that you had an aggressive plan early. It seems everyone now is so concerned with bankroll management at the low limits, when they could easily be moving up.

I miss the $20 kingston monday night MTT, thats what got me started with poker in the first place. One of the guys there that I became good friends with (Corey Severin) asked me one time if I ever played against or heard of a guy named Devin Lake, so he must know you too. I didnt want to say 'yeah I know him from the internet forum I post on'

I think it was easier for me to have an agressive plan and move up because I never viewed the money as coming from my bank account - just something I had been building from nothing. That doesnt mean I would ever be reckless with it though.

Nice post Scotty. And I love the hand written notes...I definitely logged a few thousand tournys using that system. Btw, what's your name on Party? I used to play the 109's on there a lot, maybe we played together. I was "Danuhmann" if that rings a bell.

Around June, July I would have started at those games. I dont recognize your screenname so I highly doubt we played very often
