I have been making a lot of posts n this cash forum trying to fix my leaks. Would win and then lose. Made a final 50 deposit. 10 days later I'm at 3000 dollars in my account. Just cashed out 2k. Still have leaks to fill. Went all the way from nl10-nl200. Thanks boys!!!

Keep up the 'run good'! That kind of ROI in ten days is impressive. Don't spend (or lose) it all in one place ;)

Very nice. Did you move up in stakes as soon as you had enough for the min/max buyin or how'd you go about moving up? Either way, sounds like you've had a great run. Congrats and keep it up.

Thanks man. Was playing 10NL. Ran that up to roughly 200. Took some shots at 25 NL. Hit 300. Jumped on 50 nl. Usually only playing two tables at a time. Took that up to 1k. Then had a nice run on nl 100. Did play nl 200 but was playing scared money and stopped. Went back to nl 100. Went up to 1300. Played zone poker two tables made 1300 off of that. That last few hundred was 100 nl :) Total hours prob around 40

I don't play much cash so maybe I am just confused at terminology. You say nl10? Does that mean blinds 5/10. If so how could you play that with 50 deposit. Or am I misunderstanding.

This is a good question. I think typically NL10 is referencing the buy-in at 100 big blinds. So to do the math easy the $$ amount is really the size of the big blind in cents. Meaning NL10 (100BB=$10) refers to a 5cent/10cent game.

Perhaps someone can confirm the correctness (or not) of my assertion?

Glad to see the risky shot paid off. I tried to shot 25NL with 10 buy ins, ran good at first then wheels fell off and had to keep moving back down and losing and losing. Ended up shotting 25NL Zone with like 2 buy ins and ran it up to over $200, and decided I was going to baby that money and lucky build up.

Def withdraw most of it, learn proper BRM and grind up again the slow but steady way I'd say.

Lol obviously I'm jealous, but then again if one can do it, it hints that maybe more people can do it, so all in all even jealous I'm really happy he did it.
