How did you get where you current are?

My story is boring. Plenty of others more successful and skilled and with more interesting stories. Look for the stories in the holdem forum, up to 2 years back.

Maybe the only two gems I can offer are:

1-Only engage in games/activities in which you can double your BR at low risk. It doesn't take long to compound into a small fortune. (In a GOOD game, you should be able to double your 300 BB BR, on average, every 10,000 to 12,000 hands)
2-This one is not mine, but got it from a 2+2 book: "If your opponents are tough players, as well as being extremely tight, forget about the game...Leave that game to the world champions".

For me, the party 30-60 is very tough, and the Stars 100-200 is almost unbeatable. Even the "fish" are very agressive. Of course, you can be a luckbox at either for a while. I studied and tried it and left it.
