Please forgive my ignorance, but i am relatively new to online poker...What does the acronym MTT stand for and what exactly is a ring? And does fpp mean free poker game?
Nah, i read it. I realize i shouldn't be playing in $10 games yet, But i've played three so far and came in 1st twice and bubbled on the other game on a bad beat. I will stick to $5 games even though i am about 25 times the entrance fee. I am that confident in my skills. I've been placing in the money at about a 7/10 ratio. I've been finding it way too easy.
Blah, I've played live poker a lot at house games.
Free poker is basically the same on xbox live. You gain play dollars through winning tournaments and the more you win, you can advance to more expensive buy-in tourneys. The higher tables, people usually play like it's for money. People are competitive and don't want to lose. I've seen less donkies on xbox live then in cash poker games online to be honest with you.
You are lucky. None of my friends will let me play in a home game anymore.
Yes, i understand that. But i have been excelling at the $5 games. Not just good success, but great success. So i am not going down. Unless my br really slides. So far so good. I am not a complete noob, I have skills. Not a pro or anything but i've been doing great at the $5 tablesExactly my point, we aren't talking about playing for playchips anymore. When you pay to play, the game changes considerably. Not that there pros $1-$5 levels but the play is generally a lot better.

Well good luck with that. Though I suspect variance has a huge part to do with your current success. Maybe not, maybe you are that good but somehow I don't think so.
My guideline is 5% of BR for buyin's so $140 should be no problem.
Good Luck & may the Poker Gods be kind.
Any concerns with your level of skill came when you did not know some easy poker terms, and when you said you were new to real money play. Obviously these assumptions were wrong. There is no reason to show any of us up, we are just trying to help you out. Although you are having great success along with your great skill, variance will kick in and you will lose, no matter how good you are. The reason we use bankroll management is when we do start losing, we minimize our losses. Sure, we are building our bankroll a bit slower than we would like to, but we are really minimizing our losses whilst using bankroll management.
I fully encourage you to keep us updated with your recent success.
