wow u r doing very well on MTT
after oct im thinking of concernt on MTT.
any tips for me hackbinder?
Ive been playing but I never went into final table 
Just start following your challenge from 100-1000. I can see you're doing a pretty good job for the moment and I think I can compare my game to yours.. Now I've got a bankroll of 129$! What kind of games did you play when you were at this banroll? I'm not sure about what's the best way to increase my bankroll. Should i play cashgames of 0.03/0.05$ or do you prefer 1 table sit and go's or multi table sit and go's and why?
Grtz
Hey GodfatherDh.
Im doing this challenge with hackbinder.
when i had $129 I played $2 SNG until my bankroll hit around $250.
which game u should play? its all depends on which game your ROI is the best.
for me SNG was best so im sticking to SNG.. planning to study MTT next month and play MTT
and hackbinder plays mix of Ring and MTT i believe..
guess its all depends on you 
Oké thx! Yeah just playing some cashgames on everest poker for the moment! The Sng's aren't very good overthere.. Need to have 500 summitpoints now to unlock my bonus. Then i'm planning to leave everest poker and go to pokerstars to play some SnG's and 1$ tournaments.
Another question.. Do I always need to come to this topic to see if you guys reacted or is there a way that a message appears when there is a reaction ?
Sorry for this stupid question but I'm new on this forum

I think u actually have to click on this topic...
unless there is some sort of RSS

As far as MTT strategies I really can't give too much advice because the MTTs are Rush, which is a different animal.
All I can say is to play fundamental poker and do not do anything stupid like play marginal out of position, or bluff without reasonable certainty that you will get a fold. In Rush, very few people play with air. If you are getting your continuation bet called, you better have outs if you are going to fire again on the turn. Protect your chips by only going in when the situation is profitable, and play aggressively. When the field gets thin, think about shoving with a wider range when in the small blind if the big blind does not cover you (Pzhon video!).
The biggest virtue is patience because even if you suffer a bad beat and have half of your chips early, as long as you play sound poker you will get opportunities to double when the blinds get big and impatient players try to make something happen with marginal hands or in marginal situations.
Godfather... Right now, as per my BRM rules, I am 5/10 ring, 2/5 Rush, a variety of SNG and MTTs as long as they fall into my BRM guidelines. Personally, I think the best way to grow your roll is to play mostly what you are good at and play a little of what you need to improve on. I think I play cash better so most of my focus is there but I still play SNG and MTT (albeit for less money than I would for cash games) because I need to improve. That way, you become a more well rounded player. When I was under $200, I would play 5/10 and buy in for $5 but I think that was a mistake. I should have played, say, 2/5 and bought in for $5. It is better to play with 100 BB unless you are playing SSS.
Personally, if you are going to move sites, I think it would be best to a site where you can get rakeback. Pokerstrategy.com can hook you up!
Thx for your reply! was helpfull! Today I had a great day.. Played some multitable cashgames at 0.01/0.02.. went from 129$ to 145. Now I'm playing multitables at 0.03/0.05$ and went up to 159$ so not that bad for today! I think I'm going to stay at the cashgames for a little longer because things are going great for the moment. When i get to about 200 I'm going to play some Sng's and some 1 dollar tournaments in the hope I can finish high in the rankings to build up my bankroll fast!
Grtz,

Check out this ridiculous hand... Notice how much he bets after the flop. Needless to say, I put a giant note next to his name!

MP3 shows high card ace(3:h K:s).
Hero wins with a pair of aces(T:c A:s).
******************
I was concerned after the flop that maybe he hit trip sevens, but then why would he bet soooooooo much in relation to the pot after the flop? My only answer is to scare me into folding. Maybe he had a garbage two pair like queens and sevens? Again, why bet so much in relation to the pot? Maybe he had trip aces or trip queens? He would have made a big preflop raise. No reasonable person with a hand would bet this much, except for a kid. That was actually my biggest fear... A kid that didn't know basic bet sizing nailing me with a monster. I have seen people do this weird huge bet thing before and I always folded but I am glad I had a hand where I could call him down. Watch... The next time someone tries it I'll get stacked!
Hooray! Now I'm gold!
I am playing SOME 5 / 10 single table rush just until I clear a new bonus.

some NL1k player trying to throw away 1BB i guess 
Today was both a horrible day and a great day. It was profitable so I'd say it was mostly great but provided big lessons.
Because my BR was over $400, I tried 10 / 25 again buying in for $20. I got clobbered. To be fair, most of my losses came from losing over $25 on a bad beat but it wasn't out of nowhere or some ridiculous bad beat. I had AK with an ace on the board, he had a straight and flush draw and I raised his flop bet so he shoved and he hit his flush on the river. At least he had more than two outs! I got clobbered so bad at 10/25 that I could not play there any more because of BRM. It is different. I feel like I have to take more initiative to find spots to bluff if I'm going to be successful. The ABC I play at 5 / 10 isn't going to cut it.
Speaking of 5 / 10 ring, I am doing extremely well there. I feel fairly confidant that I can be successful there long term but I want to move up.
So I'm down at least $40-$50 but I'm playing well, I think, so I decide to 4 table 3 5 / 10 ring tables and 135 man rush tourneys. I didn't cash any of the Rush tourneys but I am getting fairly deep consistently. I think I played 4 or 5 of them. It is usually one big mistake at the worst possible time that kills me. But I feel comfortable with the Rush SNG so I will continue playing them. My 5 / 10 tables kept paying for my buy ins and then some.
So I decided to end this losing day by taking another shot. I played 2 $10 super turbo 9 man SNG. I came second in one and I won the other, giving me a net profit of $9 for the day, $14 if you count the bonus.
What a day.
Bonus - $5
BR - $424

I looked for him all day today!
Today was bad-beats-galore-in-the-5-Rush-tourneys-I-played-today day. I don't even want to discuss them because they were so brutal and one after the other. The last one kept me from the final table, yep, tenth place. I flopped a set of tens, he flopped a flush after going all in preflop with A2s. I am fortunate to have a profit of $3 for today on the whole. I am still getting clobbered at 10 / 25, although today's money losing endeavour was again me flopping a set and buddy flopping a flush after calling my PFR with 62s.
*sigh*
I am still having success with the $10 superturbo SNG (1st place in one of them!), 5 / 10 ring and 2/5 Rush.

I see you guys are doing great with your bankroll.. Half way the 1000$ challenge. Keep up the good work!
I'm at 181$.. 250 summit points to go on everest poker and I can finally leave that "stupid" pokerroom!! I'm really getting sick of it ♦ I'm multi tabling and there are only 5 full ring tables with 0.03/0.05$. Most of the time there are 4 tables full the rest stays empty! So that's really a pain in the ass if you want to play more tables :evil:.
You guys got some tips about the benefits of pokerstars and full tilt??
grtz
Hey GodfatherDh,
I tried both pokerstars and fulltilt.
personally i go for fulltilt only because of Rackback.
but both very good
