back in june-ish i made a deposit of like $450 to leap right into 25nl. i know people here will probably give me shit for not just building my br with 10nl but at the time i felt that i wasn't respecting the game at 10nl so logically i had to play higher!

i took that ~450ish to about ~850 over the course of what i'd guess was like 15-20k hands and about 5 days. i felt i was playing very well and obviously running well on top of that. obviously this was a lot of money for me to be up in such a short amount of time since i was used to playing 10nl and just being a spewtard and not respecting the players, which probably made me worse than them from a theoretical point of view.

long story short i started to run bad and tilt and spewed all the way to ~$150. i moved back to 10nl when i was down to about 250 but it was the same old story...i had been crushing 25nl over a decent sample, so why should i be modest and change my view of 10nl? obviously i shouldn't; i should just continue to give away my money. obviously.

i took some time off, mostly because i didn't want to deposit again and i only had about 80 in my roll after a few more bad sessions at 10nl. i decided a few days ago i was going to give this online poker thing another shot, and do it right this time. no more being a retard regardless of whether or not i think the players around me are good or not (this has clearly always been my biggest achilles heel when it comes to poker). i'm not sure how many hands i've played since yesterday since my pt3 trial expired, but i've put about 7 hours into 12tabling 5nl and that $80 is now $190 and i'm going to take a 20bi shot at 10nl once i make it there. the job i currently have is seasonal and i've gone from 50 hours a week to about 16 and i'm going to lose the job completely in about 3 weeks so i'm hoping to be able to grind hard and make 25nl and then hopefully 50nl and play solid enough to support myself until i can find another job and pay my tuition blah blah blah.

TLDR; i made 16bi over 20k hands at 25nl then tilted it all off and now i'm rebuilding my roll at 5nl wish me luck LOL

gl, but ull never get higher than 50nl 95% unless you change the amount of tables "I think"

12 tabling 5nl = short term benefit. Meaning you'll earn more money in the next 2 months, but not by that much, but you'll learn 5% of what you'd learn if you play 4 tables, and take notes on everyone at the table, look for patterns, look for exploits and grow as a player. The "lonterm" benefits heavily outweights whatever extra you earn from 12 tabling now.

Just a tip

gl hf xD

ty seanbam and marius :D

and marius the only reason i'm playing that many tables right now is because the game is so straightforward at 5nl that i feel like i can get away with it. i know i'm going to have to cut back once i start playing higher. ty for tip though :D
