Either play STT's or play some sattelites to bigger tourneys on stars and build up a roll of T$ or W$ Smiley

We are only on this planet for a short time.

I'm not sure if there's a higher being, and if we are all here for a purpose, but if there is and we are, then it sure as shit ain't micro limit cash.

play $25 cash games until you double your role then play $50 till you double again, start playing some $20 stts as well at this point then move up when you quadruple your original roll. it's how i always do it. just avoid the bit where you get to a few thousand then get drunk and start playing super aggro 5/10 plo against proffesionals. I'm just at the end of one of those cycles, it's very depressing.

I only ever did well on the 2k gtds with 20 buy ins etc i found when i went lower i could comprehend the plays!  To be totally honest though mate i'm sick of poker at the moment, i dont enjoy it play too much and prob am going to have a break and return with a few quid so i can play against people who have an idea of how to play!

amazin value in the £2 MTTs on crypto, theyre so sick easy. usually always £70+ for winner and most of them are donks who pay u off no matter your hand, sit tight play 1 hand in 1st hour and be 4th chip leader Smiley then go on and win it over and over Wink

Low limit sngs and satelites are the best to start off with IMO.

I did this the other month, started off with $80, a month later i had $1.1k.

Started off playing quite a few $3 sngs, 6-12 tabling at times, whilst playing the odd MTT and Sat.

Then when upto $600-700 played the $6 sngs for a while, then started playing MTTs mainly doing quite well,
close to big scores quite a few times, but ran bad or whatever you wana call it at the vital times.

It got very boring and sometimes just couldn't be bothered as the low limit sngs are really depressing but just gotta stick with it

Gl with whatever you do

I'm not looking for advice just wanted to know what 'You' would do.  The only limiting factor is you cant deposit more.



I'd play $5 turbo STTs.

Never understood this sort of question, especially given the op.

SS ... you are a regular poster, have a blog, contribute to hand analysis, and seem competent at the lower levels.

4-table $25 NL, take slightly feweer risks/marginal situations ... and the chances of losing 8 Buy-ins are (in my opinion for a competent player) less than 10%. Then when you get to $1k ... play more $25 NL.  When you get to $2k you can move up/play MTT or take shots at higher levels with any money over $2k.

Quick calc ... @ 10BB/100 = 120hrs to reach $2k ... 60hrs a month around work and you are there by the end of Jan. In reality if you get rakeback/bonuses you will be there sooner.

Good Luck

Jon.

Thank you for the post mate, i am a competent player however have had a really bad time of late, infact its about 4 months now.  If i was to sit with another player and tell them how to play in certain situations the player would do v.well.  The problem i face is i tilt v.easily, i can play for too long and end up playing my b and c game which can end up in a losing session.  Add this to the fact that i have plenty of debt which is very hard to service even through my employment i have had losing month after losing month. 

The majority of my 'winning months' came from MTT's and although i harp on about it alot it was on Tribecca and i havent adjusted well to other sites, its pathetic i know to blame a site closing but i was so comfortable with the games there that i didnt concentrate on improving particular parts of my game.  I play on Full tilt at the moment and my bankroll mangement is shocking.  When i'm winning i quit too soon as my confidence is low when im losing i play too long 'chasing' losses.  I'm unsure of where to go with poker at the moment as every time i seem to be turning things around i get slapped back down.  I have spoken to a few poker friends and prob think the best thing to do is take some time off and come back in the new year fresh.  Then again everytime i have tried to 'take time out' i end up coming back too early and do another micro roll in.  Feeling pretty shitty at the moment again something that doesnt really inspire good poker play. 

Thank you to every1 for the responces i am considering play very very low limit to pass time rather than to make money until i get my drive for the game back.  We shall see i will prob be on here again with some hair brain 'challenge'.
