Today I start my grind..

Dewmz · Mar 5, 2008

I made my $50 deposit to PokerStars (hopefully my last) and now I start my grind. .01/.02 until $100, then .02/.04 until 200..etc..

I'm patient when playing cards/position, but I'm not much of a grinder (even in mmo's and such, I hated grinding) - so let's see how well I do. Hopefully I can stick to it.

To alleviate boredom, I'll probably join a random $1.20 SNG, whether STT or MTT..but other than that, I'm not going any higher. Wish me luck.

may i suggest u learn some PLO, the plo games at 1c-2c are so donkish, everyone overplays hands, if u want to move up very fast with ur BR u need to play those PLO games, just make sure u have a basic understanding oof the game first, maybe u could start with a little high low and then move to str8 PLO

gl tho, wish u the best

I know the basics of Omaha..not confident enough in my abilities to try and build a br from it though.

:icon_salu Good luck!

I find I do better on a higher stakes table like $.50/$1 or even the $1/$2 tables, because there are so many player that will not fold on the microstakes tables.

Not ready to give my money away yet, thanks

..and I too prefer the higher limits, but I'm not rolled for it.. and while that hasn't stopped me before, I wanna do it properly and see how that goes.

Maybe so, but are you properly rolled for these limits? If not, dont plan on staying at them very long!!!

gl....grinding well its grinding it sux at times but hard work and patience pays off...keep us updated...maybe in your sig. of your BR and how your doing!!!

I think I might join you in that journey...I've always blown my roll because I enjoyed playing in the larger buyin tournaments. Since joining this forum and seeing all the information I have at my disposal now I decided to build a BR too. Ill be depositing 50 on stars tomorrow...probably be seeing each other on the penny tables

Perhaps Sunday, when I have my next day off.

Well that is a good point, and since I play limit holdem you probable don't need as much of a Br to play the .50/1.0 tables. I find a $50 buy-in is plenty, not sure about NL, since I only play nl in tournaments. Even so when I was playing the microstakes tables I lost my br much quicker. I am now making money the majority of the time, because I the higher limit table actually seem easer.

Dewmz · Mar 5, 2008

It's teetering right now..I was down .51, then up .48, now down .30 ..oh well..

Edit: If I was in the last hand, I would've been up again..(rivered a boat) but who calls with 74s ..?

Me, me, I do!!!

Are you multi-tabling at all, or just one at a time? Anyway, GL with the grindin'. . . .

Dewmz · Mar 6, 2008

Single tabling to start with..

..and I'm off to bed. Down .55 which sounds much better than saying I'm down $10

So I'll carry on tomorrow probably after work.

Dewmz · Mar 6, 2008

UJpdated my sig as per someone's request.

royalburrito24 · Mar 6, 2008

Sig is a little over the top if you ask me.

Dewmz · Mar 6, 2008

aw man, that took time to make just right

royalburrito24 · Mar 6, 2008

I mean it is fine, but you do not have to make all glorious looking and with the equal sign separaters. The colors are fine. It looks a lot better now than it did before.

Today I start my grind..
