Let me tell you my background.
I've played online poker since the "Moneymaker Era" and at one point wanted to do this for a living. I've won tourneys at casinos in California, nothing major, anywhere from $500 to $2000. I won two mtts on pokerstars last year (plus one freeroll that paid out $100) for a total of almost $5,000. I cashed out most of the money because I have a wife and three kids. Even though some told me to keep it on there and build.
So last year I made deposits on PS and FT, $50 here and there. I would go above the BRM Rules and play $6 SNGs and $10 Mtts. I would go up and down and eventually go bust.
Now, I just deposited $50 on FT. I want to use proper BRM and build it to something special. I've heard stories about Durrr and others turning small amounts into millions. But what I see are bad beats and people making unreal calls and getting rewarded. It makes me question if I should even play online anymore, but Im giving it one last go. If I go busto using proper brm then im done putting money in online and will just play freerolls and never worry about it.
So what should I do? What cash game limits should I play, what sngs and mtts should I play. Ive heard a lot of people giving advice like this but what would be the best way to do it. I dont want to "get rich quick" I just want to see some sort of profit for the work im putting into this. I know it wont happen overnight, but I want to have good weeks.
Please give good positive feedback.
Thanks to all that help.
