| I'm doing well at the low-stakes these past few days, bumped up my bankroll about 20% using the Ferguson method. Theres alot of weak players down there and many calling stations, if you keep your head and don't tilt turning $50 into $100 safely is very easy. |

ok.. i posted here earlier..and decided not to wait for replies.. just go right into it after giving my mate the rest of my cash
private freeroll = 25$
played.10/.25 and 2$ SNG to build it up to 58.45$ so far (want to get it to 70$ by end of day)
the reason why i played .10/.25 is that at the 9 person table...people play INCREDIBLY TIGHT, and if you play INCREDIBLY TIGHT, you can work off a 2-4$ bluff per table easy enough.. and u may be lucky to have people call your premium hands (but in a tight table...not usually)
in a .05/.10 game... you probably WILL NOT get those bluffs in (less stakes, more loose) and the 2-4$ bluff turns into a .5/1$ bluff...which ISNT worth the money
(note..if u guys look me up and see how well ive been doing for this month...i had ALOT of debts to pay off from March..)
EDIT #1: hit 73$ thanks to my AJ (suited..flush draw.. pair Aces b4 u say anything) against A6 .... ty random noob who thought a A6 was a good all-in hand post flop
EDIT #2 80$ plus 1st in SNG now 
EDIT #3 lost a 20$ hand with 77 pre-flop against A10..flop hit A , but won a 26$ pot with JK against A7 postflop with J 2 2 on flop...noob bluffer. I GOT 86$ plus first in a SNG
EDIT #4 CRASHED...went to 45$ and gave 20 to mate to hold on to... 25 left .... .25/.50 hu
EDIT #5 BACK!!! after shaky entrances (actually went to 10 bucks and had to battle back) i got up to 78.30 plus the 20 my mate is holding on to!! |

yes, you can build up a roll, but it requires a lot of patience. you will take a lot of bad beats, and lose to a lot of ridiculous hands. however, you will also win against a lot of ridiculous hands.
i started with an $85 deposit on FTP. i played .05/.10, didn't really know what i was doing, and went down to about $50 on my first day. so i decided to move to pokerstars to play their super-low limit games (.01/.02). after a month or so of playing the ultra-micros, i was up to around $200, and felt confident enough to return to FTP. i played $5 sng's and .25/.50 limit games, and eventually moved up to playing $10 sng's and .10/.25 no limit (with the occaisional .50/1 limit). so after a total of about 6 months, i'm sitting on a roll of $630. it's not a huge roll but i'm proud of it. i'm thinking i'm going to start taking shots at the $20 sng's and $1/$2 limit games soon, and maybe .25/.50 cap no limit.
so yeah. playing a variety of games definitely helps, since you can figure out which game best suits you. personally i prefer single-table no limit SNG's, because i haven't go the patience for large tourneys and i don't seem to fare all that well in ring games. you can also figure out if you prefer no limit or limit, holdem or omaha, or any other game.
also, read books. egotistic players think they're good enough to learn the game on their own, but they are almost always wrong. it's important to know a lot of the theory behind playing poker if you want to be a consistent winner. |
A great idea, but if like me you lose all-ins when you're at least 4/1 fav, how the hell do you win. My theory is ok but continual bad beats make nonesense of all the theories etc.
For your idea to work then statistics have to work which on this site they don't. Also playing the same way on PKR I do quite well ( the poker odds work there ). |

I got 50 dollars from pokerstrategy.com and played LAG.
The $50 quickly became $6
I 9 tabled the $2.25 sit and gos and my ROI is 10%.
I also played cash games (NL10) always buying in for the maximum
I learned how to play better poker and have made this $6 into over $320 |
