Not entirely sure how much of a success this is, it somehow doesn't feel like a lot, but I think I'll post anyway with a brief history of my career. The "our successes" forum has always been helpful to inspire me in the past so I thought I'd post.
My First $5k;
- June 6th 2008 - Passed $50 starting capital Quiz
- June 12th - First time I sat down at a table with Real Money!
- June 15th (I'm guessing) - Posted First hand on Sample Forum
- Near end of June Roll plummetted to $17 or so. Struggling with SSS!
- By July 15th Hit Heater, Started NL25!
- August Downswing followed by immense Heater, $300 so up to NL50 in September!
- End of September. Reach $800 and start my Blog!
- End of October; Roll was at $700 i think, then hit bonus, my roll doubled and I went on an NL100 Upswing!
- Start of November; Shotted NL200, then played too many tables and had a downswing.
- End of November; Went on an Insane grinding mission and got my roll back with winnings + some other bonus
- December - April. Roll stayed the same. Skiid, Partied (a LOT), worked. Not enough time for Poker.
- (Did learn BSS though) NL10 through to NL50 now.
- May - Started grinding again to unlock buy-a-bonus, Shotted NL400 SSS and my roll shot up from 2200 Euro to 3600 today ♦
- Still more to come. I have another 900 euros of bonus to unlock
So all-in-all even with a lot of time spent doing other things, I've turned my starting $50 from Pokerstrategy into $5000 in just under a year despite just feeling like just a "Break-even Bonus Whore" Thanks PS!
