Default Re: Bankroll beginnings

Yeah beating NL100 for a decent winrate makes an allright living IMO. (EDIT: If you're willing to put in the hands)

I started with $50 in october 2006, played NL4 up to $100, ran it up to $300 in january playing NL10. Got drunk one night and lost everything playing NL50 heads up. Took $500 from my paycheck and deposited it to play NL25 in mid february (EDIT: also found/joined 2+2 at this time). Moved to NL50 in march, NL100 in april and NL200 in may.

It wasn't that easy as it sounds, it took me three shots to stay at NL10, two for NL25, three for NL50. NL100 is the only limit I've beat on the first shot. I played NL200 all summer until I hit a huge downswing in august which made me move down to NL50 to retool my game. I'm now playing NL100 although I'm rolled for NL200. Been living off my poker earnings since may.
