I just came 3rd in a $1 rebuy turbo.
I won $751.14, which quadruples my bankroll.
It's by far the most money I've ever won.
One day I'll win that and not give a fuck, not feel the need to brag, but for now, on this occasion...
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDAAAAAAFFFFFFUUUUUUUCC CCCCKKKKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, as you were...
wrong forum
There's a forum especially for bragging?
Oh, I was down to 2bb shortly after the bubble.
I had 7bb, shove J7s, get a call from 5bb stack, he wins... think I won the next three hands before calming down.
awesome dude, sure it's in the wrong place - but the thread title says it all so i think it's fine here. Enjoy the cash, now a bankroll management tip. Don't go moving up with all that money you've won. Make at least a further 10buyins in your current games before moving up.
you should post here as well -

congrats again
Cheers Daven. You can rest assured I'll be tight with my bankroll. I might well step up from 2nl now, I'm sufficiently rolled now for a solid crack at 10nl (perhaps even 25nl though I don't think my skill level is nearly sufficient), for standard mtts my max is $10, and rebuys maybe $3. I was already a little naughty and would play a $10 mtt once a week with a br of $250 (the Sunday 40k), but now I'm up to $1k I think I can safely do this more often.
Where rebuys are concerned, I think for now I'm happy to keep trying the $1 rebuys. My investment was $7, I had to double-rebuy twice, and of course the add-on. The way I see it, I need 10x the buy in just to cover the potential rebuys and add-on, then I need 40x that to take the swings, so $3 is still strictly speaking just out of my br range, which means I might try a couple of times until my roll dips below $900, at which point I get proper strict with my br.
Naturally, I want more, I want to make a living out of this game, but I'm not going to risk more than I can afford. I got a proper br now, I don't want to lose it.
wow.
nice one geezer
by all means take a 5bi shot at 10nl. If you're good enough but somehow lose, you'll make the money back at 5nl really quickly. If you're not good enough to beat 10nl, then at least it hasn't cost you your roll so long as you stick to the stoploss. Don't be moving to 25nl if you haven't beaten stakes above 2nl already.Quote:

I'm thinking of just sticking with mtts, I enjoy them more and while the variance can be brutal, the rewards are better. I don't need a HUD for mtts either, they just distract me, they serve no purpose since people play differently at different blind levels.
$10 is my limit now, though I'm not afraid to get stuck into micro-donks...

1st hand of course. Then the chat bar goes wild, telling me I'm a donk for shoving junk first hand in a 10c donkfest, completely ignoring the fact that Q8 and KQ had both called a shove. Twats. I'll never stop playing these ones, they're just too much fun.

sounds smart to me! when/if you play more cash, stick to 5nl until you've made 10buyins at that stake. Then pay for the HEM upgrade.Quote:

Be careful about playing too many $11 FOs. Especially since I'm assuming you'll be playing huge field MTTs, it's actually possible to lose several hundred pretty quickly. It sounds like cash games are your main game anyway, so just don't go crazy.
And if I were you, I'd wait until you have more in your BR to play 3 rebuys.
