Originally posted by fembot26Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but would it be possible for you to give a reasonably detailed account of how you built your bankroll, at least as far as single-table SNGs go? How much did you start with, when did you start playing ST-SNGs, at what stakes and on which sites, what kind of bankroll management strategy did you use, how profitable were you initially, what kinds of setbacks did you encounter and how did you deal with them, when did your profits start to improve, what kind of study helped with this, how did you set and modify goals as you achieved them or otherwise, in what ways did opponents' skill-sets change as you moved up in stakes and how did you learn to adapt, which were the most important theoretical concepts for beating ST-SNGs as you moved up and how did you discover these (through videos, books, Websites, home analysis, introspection, divine revelation)? Which of the different forms of poker did you make the most profit in? You have said you mainly play NL cash-games - are these more profitable, do you enjoy them more, or are there more high-stakes games available?
Thanks for any information you are able and willing to provide. I think a lot of members would be interested to hear how a now-professional player started out and began to make money.
