Hello guys been away from the community for a while, practising my type of poker, playing online a couple of hours a night, grinding Daily dollar abd BLT on Full tilt. Often getting up to $20 then trying some single table sitngos. Playing only freerolls to get a bankroll started.
I noticed a new tournament open for New Zealanders only on pokerstars, paying down to 99th and $27 for the winner. Well first time and i got 4th for 11 dollars, next day i got 3rd for $14, played a few sit n gos, couple of tournies then with $25 dollar bankroll, decide to sit myself down and play a good game of poker. I chose the 180 player $2.20 and as the field got smaller I kept my chipstack healthy and then we're in thew cash, then there are 9. I was 16/18 and enter final table in 7th. I concentrated on reaching each extra spot, working out how much it will be worth to bear just one more player. I make a point of this as I have been blase in the past, making fast math decisions and then going all in, and if i lose and i was ahead I just write it off and think ah well, ill have the best of it in the long run.
So I just kept reaching one more spot until I was heads up and its worth $38 to win not get 2nd, so again buckle down ive got half his chips but I make it and take 1st. $108.
So, in one tournament i achive my first poker goal, to build a $100 bankroll from nothing.
But now I wonder what I should do with my first little roll. Do I buy some software?
I want to play tournaments rather than cash table poker, anyone got 2penceworth?

Oh yeh if last time i looked, as I didnt create my fulltilt acct thru CC i thought I wouldnt be able to qualify for the CC freerolls one day, any good ideas to use the cash to get eligibility to some freerolls....one day....
Many thanks
