I am still building my bankroll, currently at 60$ from 50$ starting capital. U play SSS at NL10 on Full tilt.
I need to ask you guys who played SSS on this limit. Did you strictly follow the rules for SSS.
Cause the blinds are eating me too fast and i have to make an occassional risk to steal the blinds.
Btw i love Full tilt for this limits.
about 2 days. from $50(on titan) to $500.
placed highly in 2 MTT. 1st in a $500 guaranteed for $260, and 2nd in a 1k guaranteed for $200.
then a BIG downswing on NL50 brought me down to $200.
then i slowly built it back up.
then another big one brought me down to $150, where i am currently.
had a look over my hands and i was only making about 3 mistake per 1k hands. but people on NL50 LOVE to re-raise, which i cant call AJ or AQ, so i lost alot of blinds to re-raises. to much to turn a profit.
I went to about $450 within the first 20k hands or so and that took me about 2-3 months I think playing SSS. Then huge downswing on NL50 SSS and I went to about $200. I build to $460 playing NL25 SSS and then BANG as soon as I hit NL50 SSS I went down to $300 within the last 6k hands or so. I'm down to $230 playing NL25 SSS now. Making less mistakes than ever before and I know so much more now...tough times!
about 4 months
First i tried cash games and sit-n-gos at full tilt loosing all of my 50 and after a rakeback of 27$ i still managed to lose it and i always tried to follow BRM but in the end i lost all of My BR in Full Tilt and collected a new 50 with TAF and deposited to Mansion there i played a bit cash until i hit my first tourny victory for 267$ and soon after that 2. big cashes from a 30$ tourneys one for 1065$ and other for about 300$ atm i am at 1100$ after a small cash out

I hope you play SSS. Don't forget the BRM, you need at least 25 stacks for the limit you play, I suggest more btw.
With $150 you should play SSS on NL25.

dont worry tribune, i play SSS nl50 after (again) winning a $500 GP for $260(this is the third one out of 5 that i have won, also placed 2nd in one)
Titan doesnt have NL25 by the way.
BR is at $350, making 16 BB per hour SSSing NL50 at the moment due to donkaments calling preflop all ins with ace rag, and me getting 12 AA's in 400 hands.
Yeah took me less then a day after i recieved the seed capital to get my bankroll up to 2400.
yh it took me like 5 weeks and 350 games playing the $5.50c sit and go's on cd poker
Went broke first time i started playing, NL5 BSS and NL10 SSS. Played freerolls and some cheap MTTs, came 2nd twice and got 150 and 550$. Won one for another 570 and a week ago my BR was at around 1500(made the extra playing NL25 BSS). After around 10k hands at NL50 i'm down to 1200, so i'll be moving back to NL25 soon.
right now am at 120 from my original fifty and been playing for around 4 weeks. at around 2-3 hours a day.
i started playing the .05/.10 NL SSS with 3 tables then tried the .10/.20 NL still using SSS...
Now am playing with 3 tables with 2 - .05/.10 NL and 1 - .10/.20 NL table.
Was almost 200 a week ago when i got a huge downswing.... went down due to people going all in with a rag and k rag hands.... and catching a runner runner....
Well am trying to grind it back

Hey Miskokvo,
are you having trouble beating the 11$ SNGs? Because I kind of am. I tried moving up from the 5,50$s three times already but I never got the ROI high enough for the 11$s to be more profitable than the 5,50$. Hope we'll both move up soon, though..![]()

same at me ... tried it 3 times.... 2 times my bankroll fall down by 30%... one time was prettty nice starting but after that 30BI downswing in one day
Still working on it. Kinda wasted 40$ almost immidiatly by buying into MTTs and beeing frustrated and stuff. With 10$ left I thought that it would be stupid to waste all of it.
So I started the proper play focusing to get money and not having fun at MTTs or so, just those nice 90 player sit and go's knockout turbo on FTP (really love it that you get money for a knockout
)
At 35$ now after playing properly for around 2 and a half hours.
hmm to 500$ with proper playing... maybe... hmm.. I will give myself 4-5 month.
Will start my blog when I am back up at 50$ (if I get there haha).
