Hey, its been a while since I posted on the forum.

I was a casual NL25 (sometime NL50) player, 9 tabling at pokerstars a while ago. Unfortunately I lost my job and I had to withdraw my bankroll :(

Now that I have a new job I deposited 50$ of my cash to pokerstars September 1st. After 2 week my bankroll was 270$ grinding NL10 and moving to NL25 when my bankroll was about 200$ (I know that this aint a good bankroll for NL25, but most of my past winning were at NL25 and I feel more comfortable).

I have about 15.62BB/100 on NL10 (2500hands)
I have about 17.55BB/100 on NL10 (4000hands)

So heres the main story

I was 9 tabling NL25 cash game when my FPP reached about 800. I decided to try and buy-in into STEP 1 of WCOOP for 500FPP (cash its 7.50$).

I play the sattellite and I manage to win it. so there it goes.

Saturday
-----------
STEP 1 (win)------> STEP 2 (win) -------> STEP 3 (win) ------->STEP 4 (win)

All in a row. after this I decided to take a short break

Sunday
-----------
STEP 5 (win) (which is worth 700$)

STEP 6 (in progress) (worth 2100$ of entry fee)-------> in progress

Thats it. I finished 5 out of 9 for 1200USD$. I was pretty much card dead, although I picked up AA once, nobody bite.

Some player in the tourney are STEP SnG expert.

SHIPP ITT
busto_soon
FA_morgoth

Those are all player that I know of that play STEP 5-6 all day long.
I had the choice to either wait for later or play it now. I felt I was in a good mood now and took my chances.

SHIPP ITT got the chip lead after the first break and was giving alot of pressure, All-in raises preflop.

Finally I went out when I raised all-in preflop with 99 and got called with K5o (I still had about 2/3 of the caller chip stack). we still had about 12 BB each (so as everyone but SHIPP IT). well, the dude hit is K on the flop, what can I say.

I was fortunate enough to win every step whitout backing down once.

Now im will had my winning to my existing bankroll and move to NL50. I have already played this limit so I know im ready. Only 500$ more to move to NL100, if I fell confortable.

I hope you like the read, thank you to pokerstrategy.com who gave me my first deposit at FTP and some awesome videos/articles.

See Ya at the table!!!

Very nice Dykiller!!

FA_Morgoth is a German PokerStrategy Sng and MTT coach and zangbezan24 is also very famous (Sorel Mizzi considered one of best online pros atm) - so yes a very tough table indeed :)

Congrats on the 1,2k!!

Well, considering the table was pretty solid, I am sure glad to have made it ITM !

Hehe, nice read. Congratulations to the nice cash. Make sure you don't gamble it away by moving up to fast. I suggest to post your sample hands in order to get feedback on your play by our judges.

That busto_soon guys is sure not a winning player, the guy is like 20K down and should alter his name to "being_busto"..

FA_morgoth has a recent downswing to.. went down like 25K in 40 SnG games.

But nice win dude.. sure wish i had made it that far!
