i guess the 'was' indicates that it's not relevant anymore?

i guess i need to read more and play less :)

what a shame it's not relevant anymore :)

Anyway, since I'm from Israel, that would'nt help me either.

about the BSS NL2 .

I managed to get 3$ by now .
I tried 4 Sit N Goes before that . lost 3 SnG's 9players . and took 4th place at 27players SnG .

I decided I won't play SnG for now cuz I can simply lose it all fast ))
on NL2 lot of badplayers, playing loose with very bad cards, pushing all in with not that good cards too .

now, someone said to try the SH 6players NL2 BSS .
but I don't want just to start that without asking few questions .

I need to change some strategy to play SH ? like betting, hands, considering other stuff . ? any advices ?

or u think I just need to stick to FullRing NL2

You cannot learn poker without investing money sadly, it just won't work.

Yes OP might be a losing player, but he still has to play to improve his game. Only reading strategy won't work.

Nl2 is perfect for learning the basics.... 40$, 20BI which is good BRM... etc.

I think I went through 150$ or so before I did my final 100$ deposit.

sorry to dissapoint but it does work, hence this site still survives.
I have never deposited and have grinded the $50 to $800 in a month playing 30k+ hands

I think he meant to say that you can't become a winning real money player by playing play money..

Please close this thread since it goes to chatting off topic not even answering my questions ;))

Sneaky, I got my $50 and in one day I raised it to $65 in FR NL10 SSS. I was feeling confident, when reality hit me like a boulder. After a week I had $16 and little hope. I was advised in the foruns to run back to NL2 and so I did.

In Party Poker, NL10 has a lot of SSS tight players which sank my bankroll. NL2 has more loose players and my BR is now $25.

I guess you should try NL2 using SSS playing very tight.

As I understood U R on Full Tilt, so you have 0.25$+0.05$ SnG sattelites to daily dollar. 1st 2 places win entry, 3rd place win 0.25$ back. When U R in 1st 2 just go to daily dollar tournament loby and unregister and you'll get your tournament $ back, and you can play sattelite again for that tournament dollars, and if you want you can exchange it for real ones (I don't recomend it because there is a fee, and if you don't play cash games you don't need real dollars). So U have to win entry (1st 2 places) just in 1 out of 3 SnGs to show profit, and with 3rd place you're practicly breaking eaven. I know it's hard work to bild your bankroll like this, but it's better then freerolling

Well Unfortunately I'm eventualy broke ! :))

got 0.11$ left ^_^ . :f_confused: :f_confused: :f_biggrin: Feel like a fish cuz I got emotional involved and said whatevER I just play the last bucks.
Lost it on 2 , 1$ SnG 6handed, finish 3rd in both of them hehe .

Anyway, I still trying to get 'in the money' in some Freerolls in FullTilt and PokerStars
And I really wait for my friend to get 100SP asap so I'll get my 50$TaF ( alrdy got 25$)
the really sad thing is that I don't have the bonuses at FullTiltPoker .

I still in a dilema which Strategy I'll go with . the SSS NL10 or the BSS NL2 .
got very motivated by reading "Poker Brothers II" Blog of dandycal, a very succesful SSS player . I need to be very disciplined, and re-read SSS articles, and start posting hands in order to improve my game .

I still really like BSS, it's more loosier than SSS, and people say it's lot more Swingy.
you can win like 80$+ by the first week, and lose the same the next week .

I remmember 'dandycal' had very very hard starting with SSS, lot of downswings due Badbeats . and that's hard cuz you likely will get hands that are out of the SHC . and once u get it, u play it aggressive . and lose it . it's hard ))
but as people say it's long term profitable, and so it was for him .


man, TEN KAVOD LETZAHAL. I was in the same situation. I went down to 6.5$ before going up to few hundreds. being relaxed is really impotrant. you better read some theory, play the nl2 and be patient. dont put alot without two pair or better. and take it easy since that only few people are winning players from the begining.

Walla ata tzodek, we won't talk about the army but you right, being relaxed is a MUST.
Currently I'm waiting for 15$ TaF to get paid of the whole 50$ ( 35$ atm )
and then I'll be on the road again ! But I'm still not sure what way I will play .
NL BSS/SSS or Tourneys ( SnGMTT / HU ) . probably won't be HU as I'm not that good in headsup ( I really hope I'll turn to be good HUplyer someday ) .

anysuggestions are welcome :)

Unfortunately i'm in the same boat as you, went bust on my first $50 and waiting for a friend to reach 100PS points so I can get my TAF bonus, i'm on $45 already and it's killing me waiting for that extra $5. If only I could just deposit that into my TAF :(
