Good luck

Good luck with that thonyfive. Becoming blackmember is something I think we would all like. But making 500k points is quite a jurney.

I hope you can make it to NL100 in no time.

Cheers,

ty!
i'm playing BSS.
as far as i know sss is only for FR tables. i play SH.
Actually when i talk about my bankroll i prefer not to divide it in separate groups. I just have reserve in Stars, but i could transfer it in any time so i could say that i have $1.1k bankroll and i guess it's enough
Once i had $2.5k but than i got some unlucky days and some bad attempts to jump to NL100 so i decreased my bankroll cause of that events. And if something will go wrong, i'll go down for NL25 only when i'll have 25 stacks of that limit. Cause i feel myself confidence on nl50.

Ok yes I see.

Ofcourse SSS is for FR players I'm just sleeping a little......

Good luck with your goals!

By the way what is your hometown? I lived half a year in Sankt Petersburg in 2007.

Yeah man, good luck! Maybe your blog will provide the inspiration some of us need to become black members as well.

Btw: did you start with the $50 free bankroll or did you deposit? How long did it take to get to the level you're currently at?

Cheers

Yes, i started with $50 on Party poker. and i loose it in few weeks. Then i tried another sites and only then when i lost that money too, i decided to deposit my own money and i did it only cause i really wanted to play poker, i just couldn't imagine in that moment, how i'll live without it
About my level. I do a lot of mistakes but i live cause of fish that do more mistakes as you see i started in april this year, so all that time i played almost every day

first raiser was really tight but second one has too big percentage of preflop 3bets. something like 15-18%. so i decided to do this trick. i don't know what hand he called me. Most probably it's AK. or JJ. but i don't really see perspectve in this call. So he did a mistake

I dont like the idea about trying higher limits without appropriate bankroll no matter if it was said by durrr or anyone else.. It's little gambling even you are good enough for NL100, because variance is something you can't beat.

The other thing: Why do you play 15 mins sessions??? It's not wise to do, because you're losing the chance to get some reads, tables image etc. It's similar to bet few times on roullete: you try and wish to win and leaving either happy or sad. I'm not saying you're gambling, it's just my personal experience with short sessions

Anyway, nice to see you're running well

Good luck!

ok, it's gambling, but, why not? cause if you have a chance you can catch this limit on earlier. And this fifteen minuts sessions occured cause i wanted to play but have been diverted by some events. Also, as you see it's nl10 there. sometimes i play there heads up. On ftp heads up starts only from nl50. and sometimes when you sit on empty table you could play heads up with somebody and it could be really profitable And on NL100 i played cause there was a fish i was sitting with and when he left, i left too.
Anyway, big thnx for comment!

few updates.
bought an account on cardrunners. watching videos there.
and some nice hand
i was afraid of better aces, but probably he has something like JJ, QQ, maybe slowplayed KK.
