So, I deposited $100 into bovada, and started playing the .02/.05 stakes. In 4 days, I found myself doubled up to 200.

I moved up to the .05/.10 stakes, and found that these too, have been relatively easily, and i'm nearly to another double up, sitting around a total bankroll of 320.


This could very well be a big run good, but I have certainly had my share of bad beats losing entire buy-ins multiple times. I just find myself getting my big hands paid off. Sets, straights, and to a lesser extent flushes, are all getting paid. I look forward to making the next jump

Good day!
Congratulations on your good upstroke, but I think that for the higher limits you need a deeper bankroll. Downstream can be easily caught
Good luck at the tables!

Glad to hear that you're doing good.
Keep up the good work!

Congrats on the solid start and thanks for sharing with us Styrofoam!

I think you're giving yourself plenty of BR to work with given you can find pretty soft games at .10 nl (especially on bovada) which can keep variance low.

Sounds like you've got a good feel and know what you're doing. I have a feeling that a $500 bankroll is around the corner and you can start dabbling in .20 or .25 nl (although it certainly is a meaningful jump so perhaps you'll prefer to have an ever bigger cusion)

Good luck and happy stackin!

Thanks. I have since created a bankroll of about $3000 and started playing the $1/$2 live games in my city.

The month of march was a good month, making a little under 2,000 for the month.

Congrats on your good upstroke.

congrats keep it you

congrats keep it up
