Re: How did you get where you current are?
Been playing for a little over a year. Started by ordering Internet Texas Hold Em by Matthew Hilger and went straight to 3/6 and 5/10 after only about a month of playing lower limits like .50/1 and 1/2. I ran up to about 12k in a couple months and then took a shot at the Party 15/30 and got lucky and ran good and made 15k in 1 week. From there I played a bunch of 5/10-15/30 short with mixed results (broke even for a couple months) until I gained more experiance and read books like Sklanskys Hold em for advanced players. After that I was able to run my 20k roll up to about 55k (which was when I got off from school for summer vacation, I'm a freshman in college). From there I went on Pokerstars and UB and played anywhere from 30/60 to 150/300, mostly playing 30/60-80/160 and taking occasional shots at 100/200 and 150/300. I also went to Turning Stone Casino (only option since I am 19) during a big tournament week and ran pretty good in the cash games there (made like 10% of my roll there that week). I did OK online and today I am sitting on 90k after my first year. Despite all of the higher limit cash games I've tried out and played since I started, they are really stressful (with huge swings, especially online) and I find myself more attracted to tournaments and learning how to become a strong tourny player (for which I'd suggest both of Harrington's books).
