Default brag? beat?: bankroll buildament $18 to $1k in one night? progress..

posting this is prob a beat since i play micro, but i got donked out of a couple $100 pots and got down all the way to $18 left in my roll, which was at a .10/.25 table. with the help of my companion, we decided i should just take 20 to .25/.50, double up, take that to 1/2, double up, take that to 2/4, double up, etc. until i get up to $1k.

so i'm making progress and it appears i can skip 2/4 and go straight to 3/6, via this hand (apparently my brag is i can make a read so unbelievable that essentially a min raise gets 1 villain out of the pot):

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $1/$2 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $209.35
BB: $200.00
UTG: $63.75

Preflop: Hero is dealt 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 Players)

Turn: ($156.30) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players - 1 All-In)

Pot Size: $156.30 ($3 Rake)

UTG had 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (Ace Ten high) and LOST (-$60.65)
Hero had 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (a pair of Fives) and LOST (-$60.65)

I voted "go until i get $1k or am broke, or else i'm a pussy"

And am heavily leaning towards the "am broke" part.

that's cool, but if you sat to my left perhaps you were the one with 107s? i don't know if you're secretive about your username, so for confidentiality's sake does your username start with a c or a j?

i said i would keep going until i got to $1k or busted, and yea i'd put 95% on bust, but it's [censored] $18 dollars. and i'm making a new account anyway to get rakeback, so... [censored] it!
