Last night deposited $50.... stuck to the PL .50-1.00 Holdem ring games.... 2 hours racked up $600.
my advice is to just be patient and remember you will ALWAYS get that one big hand that you need to double up... no matter how long you have to wait for it. Sit back and watch for a bit... find out who the loose cannons are and wait for the moment to set the trap. Also remember that your chip stack can play as an advantage to the lower stacks... dont be scared to re-raise or bet on the flop in limit holdem... you will either take down the pot or get raised. When raised... fold and move on to the next hand.
Dont ever get discouraged about folding a hand that hit... The discouragement will haunt you next time you get that hand... remember even though it hit last time its still a bad hand and you should still fold.
Dont get mad on bad beats... like i said in the beginning you will ALWAYS get the one big hand you need to double up...
I personally play a lot of hands in Limit holdem because preflop raises are limited and most people will only call with high cards... people with high pkt pairs will generally raise. if you have 7-8 suited and there is a preflop raise and only a couple players call... if the flop hits low you may want to bet at least 1/2 if not 3/4 the pot.... see what happens. Just remember... when your beat... your beat.
Good Luck! |

Wow, PLHE? Isn't that a variant that so few people play, thus most of the opponents actually play it by choice (and are not horrible at it)?
You musta had some pretty aggressive/reckless BR rules, since a $10 buyin to start = 20% of your starting roll... Faster upward climb that way, for sure, but also very easy to lose the roll or be forced to drop down frequently.
Also, I presume that since it was "2 hours" for your +550 profit, you didn't just stay at the .50/1 table, but at some point moved up in stakes? So what stakes did you play, at what bankroll for each move up? Honestly curious.
PS: found you on PTR, wow, nice triple-up with that 5h3h hand... lucky they BOTH had a Jack, eh? But looks like after your +483.65 rush, you lost -73.65 -81.00 -368.45 -33.20 -- I guess you shouldn't have moved up to the PL600 so quickly eh? But I can see how fast you DID move up, from NL1 to NL25 then PL100 and onwards from there, I guess you've discovered how much less risky pot limit is for those speculative hands? So you can see a flop, or a turn, for a decent investment considering your huge implied odds? Hmmm... something to consider for myself I guess (I played PL Omaha for a while but the swings were insane).
Thx for sharing your recent success story, hopefully you've dropped down after your bad run and will recover soon enough!

PRE-FLOP TIGHTNESS:
You are 304% looser than optimal. Tighten up a lot!
You are 355% looser than optimal. Tighten up a lot!
PRE-FLOP AGGRESSION:
You are 45% less aggressive than optimal. Be a lot more aggressive!
You are 16% less aggressive than optimal. Be a little more aggressive.
SHOWDOWN FREQUENCY:
You showdown 38% more often than optimal. Know when to fold!

My guess is you fold a TON of flops until you hit a big made hand or monster draw, thus making your see-showdown% appear higher than it "should" be... interesting... |

I went from 33$ to 0$ , take 2 bonus released ($25) and now set myself some rules so I cannot go broke again.
Results after 4 days: up to $55 now. I don't have a bankroll that allows huge swings, so I play 2PLO/8 or 2NLHE cashgames and 1.10 NHLE 45 man sng's combined with shots of 5PLO/8 cashgames when I see an opportunity (table selection is the word). So far so good  |

Best way to boost your online micro-BR is to occasionally deposit half or a quarter of your LIVE winnings 
Seriously, I just did that this week, live $3/6 limit holdem had some maniacs who paid me off when my draws hit and took home $400 profit in 3 hours, $100 of that added to my FTP account so back to the "top end" of the microstakes again, no longer gonna have to grind the lowest and second-lowest buyins and have practically no chance at beating the rake... |

| My progress is glacial, I guess I'm just too conservative, but I started with $10 in August and I'm now up to $152. |

Slow and steady wins the race... by the time you're a grandfather you may be a pro. I've been a yo-yo lately started at 30 up to 170, down to 90, up to 270, down to 100, now I'm back up to 230, and all this from the middle of September till now.
Was up to 350 today, swung down to 250, man I'm living life in the fast lane. |
