I can very much relate to what you say about doing good at the lowest stakes and then moving up too early. This is how I started and later stopped playing poker for a while. I went up from $50 to about $110 in a few weeks and was having a good time. I then lost that $110 in about 2 days and I actually was a bit shocked how fast I had lost and decided not to play for a while.

Anyway, I'm back and like you decided to try a new approach. Keeping to the low stakes and really trying to research and get good at the game! I've spent hours watching TPE movies, reading the forums and books and ofcourse playing.
I'm still on a -ROI at this point but after reading Marc Alioto's post I've decided to focus on the fifty50's on pokerstars for now. I've been in the money a couple of times, but shot down about 2/3 of the time so far. Lots of room for improvement still, but I like the format.

I find your story inspiring to keep at it and keep improving. I like reading how your efforts have helped you to get better at the game and I hope I too will improve and start winning enough to at least break even and be able to enter more MTT's.

Big thanks to you for sharing your story and all the pros for the effort they put into this site and the videos!

I have decided to drop in stakes for a little bit and hit some lower stakes and grind some sitngos to keep my ROI up. I have consistantly over the past week, I have consistantly working on sticking close to a +ROI which I am happy with.

What I am happy with is stevenutz v.2 after BourbonFTW and constently studying. I am running deeper in my tourneys and will eventually be moving exclusively to MTT's but to supplement the bankroll, got to stick with SitNGoe's as my main source for now.

I am playing much more confident and more aggressive this week. I know it isn't much but started this week with $25.00 minimum deposit and as of tonight, I am up to $68.00. 4 days straight, according to my HEM2 stats, I have had a +ROI. I was planning on deposting this weekend but I don't think I am going to do that. I think I am just sticking with this and see how this goes with good proper bankroll management.

I would love to see what the TPE Nation would think what games I should stay in.Here is where I have been sticking with during the weekday.

1.10 Turbo Deepstack

1.10 Dollar Dazzle

3.00 DoNs

3.00 Bounty

1.00 SitNGos

2 to 5 HUSitNGos

I will continue to update this Bankroll sweat thread as I continue this journey. Here is my sharkscope since I started with TPE.

I have been somewhat silent on my March stint because basically there hasn't been anything to report for my liferoll challenges took the best of me until this weekend. I got a very very small roll back and I want to report where I am. I managed to put a 25.00 deposit down on Lock on Monday. I will say that I will back in my normal liferoll and challenges are behind me by next weekend.

Anyways. I am not going to report to you that I now have 1K again. I wish but still happy to report to you that I am up to 48.00. Today, I played some 1.00 micro games and stuck mainly doing Marc Alioto's favorite DoN's and SitNGo's. As of today, finished my session with 19 games of a mix of MTT's, SitNGos and DoN's and happy to say that I managed a 24.1% ROI, 47.4%. I am excited for this is volume that I used to do a long time ago. It is a great feeling to be back again.

Now, I want to give a shout out to my partner that I grind with, siuranger...Yo yo yo. Also, give a shout out to this site for giving me some basic tools to get deep in these games I am playing. I also have changed my play dramatically. Over the past three weeks of not playing on LOCK, i have been really studying it up. It was a great help to have a HH done from the great Dan "BourbonFTW" Hitchner. I have been working online in subscription sites and also been playiing a little live set on Thursday. I am opening a ton more and definately not a 'nit' as all have seen on the video.

You know, I am thinking....I may not even have to deposit at the end of the month. If I stick with the game, maybe just maybe I can just run it up from here. What do you guys think TPE?

I had to withdrawal all of my roll. I will be starting my bankroll challenge again starting at 50.00. I will be postiing for folks who are meeting the same sort of challenges that are as me. I am down about it, but not out.

The thing that has got me through is this community. My wife has been sick and had surgery and doctor bills are piling up quicker than I can blink. This community of Poker players are awesome. I thank all of you of your support. What gets me through is that I have poker to get me through the messes as a winning player. It was because of proper bankroll management that I can afford withdrawing and afford to provide for my family. It makes having good bankroll management.

thanks RonFezzBuddy for this link for it is a world of difference not only to my game but to my family as well. THANKS. It is much deeper than just a "tip". It makes a poker player the real deal.

so I will start by saying. I am now

 

br=57

cash games to build a little.

Will be hitting micro stakes freezeouts. The dollar dazzle daily. I will also hit some low volume DoN's. Mostly will hit the turbo Deepstacks MAJOR. GLGL

It was fun to play the Maximus series and see TiltedEV take a deep run in the 109. Good job Tilted. I am really satisfied with my work on my Bankroll. I looked from the first thread down and the improvement in my game is my Bankroll Managment. I really enjoy playiing poker and finding some similar stories and coming along side together to keep each other in check with Bankroll. It is soooo key to stay proper in the bankroll. It makes you a better player to crush the games you are in.

 

If any of you are upset or down because you want to play with the 'bigdogs' or the players you admire and respect that are in higher stakes than you, don't. Come find the ones that are in your BR spot and we can push through together. It is a matter of the will. It is a hard road but those that take the road of staying inside properly in bankroll management and crush through micros properly will be much better poker players with a lot of skill and heart as we move up in the higher stakes so we can crush those too. No harm in the 2 buck or the dollar dazzle. Its all good.

I have also bee playing a fair amount of cash games and got my BM to my milestone 1K. What a great feeling to be able to make shots at 11.00 freeze outs now and to grind those 25nl games.

I even had to make lil withdrawal for some life roll challenges and still got it there. This isn't including some satties for the Maximus series on Sunday. I will manage to be in the 11.00 33.00 and the 109. It will be fun and looking forward to some good runs.

I want to put a shout out to my buddies that hang in chat during the day siuranger, The_Dude and Bytie for railing and pretty much keep me company. Also DannyN13 for your videos of recent TCOOP and I can't remember who sent me the push/fold chart but man thanks TPE. I am pumped.

If u r going to grind SNGs and mix in MTTs then it woudl b better to play TURBO MTTs as u get into the push/fold stage pretty quickly.

I am glad that I did stick with the 100 buyins. I actually found myself with a losing session big time. I don't know if I was playing SitNGos like an MTT which when looking back at it, I was. I found myself minraising where I should have shoved and should have called shoves when I folded so that may have been the issue. I don't know but it was crazy nasty. I was 5 for 25 games. EEEkk...

I thought it was just the day. Decided to play two DoN's today and it was the same result so I lost 4 bucks in two sessions. So I guess I need to stick to MTT in 100 buyins and crush them. Oh well. The 100 buyin was proper. I only lost 20.00 yesterday along with my rakeback stuff so I am all good. No tilting. Back to my regular grind.

See you at the micros MTT tables.

I am going to try it out. I am going to be hitting the SNG tables and stay within 100 BI. If I double the profit daily, I will hit a MTT equivilant. For example. I profit my SitNgo +50 then I will play one 25.00 buyin in MTT still with the profit for the 25 for that day. Start over the next day. Basically earn the MTT buyins for that day. I was wondering what you guys think of this as a strategy?

 

I am all for building bankroll but lately, I haven't been doing that great on MTT's. I have had a downshift in games lately and need some boost in confidence.

I have been talking to badabing. When Multitabling SitNGo's, you still need to factor the variance. It is important to what you are doing when Multitabling. If you like Multi, it's best to lower your BuyIns based on the amount of multi tabling. I have lowered and doing good. Thanks for the tips.

Grinded out some DoN's on Merge to build the bankroll and get myself back to pay my shots from yesterday off and turned a profit due to the DoN's. Thanks Marc "aznAllin007" Alioto for that tip.

I am breaking from poker and from TPE until Monday so cudos and glgl to everyone playing this weekend. I will be hitting it hard on Monday and actually going the Marc Allioto route and grind out some DoN's all of next week to stay true to my BRM. I have a hard time doing DoN's but to support the higher buyins on Merge Network, gotta do what I gotta do. I figure that in order to support this MTT deal...I got to earn the grind to play you know to stay proper in BRM?
