Re: How did you get where you current are?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I started my latest roll with $.15 on a .01-.02 table. [/ QUOTE ] That's only 7BB! That's horrible bankroll managment and is a good way to go broke. You may want to read up on br managment in the beginners forum. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed, with a $0.15 roll, you should ideally be playing for negative bets. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: How did you get where you current are?
it is pretty amazing how often a key part of somebody's "poker story" includes a big tournament score

I would have almost certainly gone broke and never developed my skills if it weren't for an extremely lucky MTT score early in my development. I had just found 2+2, so I was improving ever so slightly, but was still kidding myself in a lot of respects. -James

It looks like the trend here is that you have to take shots to get anywhere, unless you want to take years to get from $1/$2 to $30/$60. This thread has been toggled [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] yeah i've noticed this a lot too most people are just like "went to X/X, gambled and here I am" johnny chan even said this on espn yesterday haha. He was broke and got 300$ credit off his credit card and made 30k in a month and never looked back

Re: How did you get where you current are?
[ QUOTE ]
I started a 2 years ago watching a friend play who is very solid. He showed me the basics and I began to read a few books and playing 25NL. I began to build a bankroll and decided to try limit, eventhough my friends all played NL. I played the 5/10 6 max games when they were just great. I won a seat in a tourney that following summer in Europe and won the tourney (Austrian Masters). I then had a real bankroll and played 5/10 6 max before moving up to the juicy party 15/30 games. I play from 15/30 to 100/200 on lots of sites now...just about table selection. [/ QUOTE ] when you say "table selection," what exactly are you looking for in a table? And how do you know you've found it?
