Buy one get one free offer on turkey sandwiches.Hi, I'm undergoing one of the courses offered on this website so I thought it would be a good idea to log my progress during and after the coaching period.A few things about me; I don't really remember when I started playing poker. All I can remember was I lost alot of money, mainly due to being the worst player alive, and a distinct anger problem that only comes out when playing poker. It got to the stage where I was smashing things such as game consoles and TV's over a $2 pot. It became expensive. I'm also largely self taught because I am generally stubborn by nature and refused to let any outside sources help me. The only video's I had watched with a reference to "top pair" was some low budget latvian porn. Despite this, maybe a month and a bit ago, I decided enough was enough and I'd give it a really good go because I knew I could win (even though I'd dissproven this numerous times in the past). Anyway, here are my graphs for 3months and 100games; 
Bankroll sits at 850$ playing 10$ deepstack - Apologises to Dzikijohnny for that tilt shove the other day. Cheers, Stuart |

You could probs play the $20 deepstacks with that roll pretty comfortably. Depends on what you prefer though, obviously. | ||

I can't help with this thread because I am a vegetarian, but good luck in your slaughtering of birds and fish. | ||

Just hit $900 after abit of a flat spot which came after one of my lessons (insert conspiracy theory). Have also had my biggest winning streak (10s) at 7 wins in a row. | ||
| Sorry_Mate |
Up 5 buyins today and also min cashed in the 5$ superstack - BR at $955 | ||
| Sorry_Mate |
I've stopped playing today at $1020, so 6.5 buyins won today.
Does this line look as fishy as I intended it to look? He's 10% ROI over a small sample. There was 800 in the pot on the river. *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Sorry_Mate [7s Ad] ijustpwnedu raises to 50 Sorry_Mate calls 30 *** FLOP *** [7d Qs Ac] Sorry_Mate checks ijustpwnedu bets 60 Sorry_Mate calls 60 *** TURN *** [7d Qs Ac] [4c] Sorry_Mate checks ijustpwnedu bets 115 Sorry_Mate raises to 290 ijustpwnedu calls 175 *** RIVER *** [7d Qs Ac 4c] [7h] Sorry_Mate bets 4,020, and is all in ijustpwnedu calls 1,180, and is all in Uncalled bet of 2,840 returned to Sorry_Mate intresting spot with your line, mainly because you force him to a decision, which is the nuts or nothing. conciderring he only has 1180 behind and these 800 in the middle i think its fine, maybe make you raise bigger on the turn so the stack to pot ratio is closer and the the shove isn't such an overbet, but i really don't mid it tbh as i think they way villian has played indecates lot of strength. |

Was up to about $1300 but have hit abit of variance, for the first time in my poker career, and am back down to $1150. Could be worse I suppose! | ||

Get used to it, it's a bit like a demon, you can't run from it!! Well done though, nice going. |
||
| Sorry_Mate |
It was more me tilting, to be honest. I should of quit way before I did.
Thanks for your input whoever wrote this, I raised so small because I had check raised to a similar amount a few hands previous as a semi bluff. Was hoping he would of picked up on it. |

| Sorry_Mate |
Up to 1650 but I've been playing like a complete spastic. The tilt is back aswell.

| BetMagicMoney |
well done mate keep going 
|

| Sorry_Mate |
Thanks mate, but sadly I'm dissapointed in myself. | ||
| Brokerstar |
How impressive going from a $200 profit to a $1600 + roll in what a couple of weeks?
Very, very well done so far that man.

| Sorry_Mate |
managed to get to 1800, took a few bad beats, a period of monkey tilt later I was back at 1550, managed to get back to 1750 today though. Really need to sort my self out or I might aswell give up | ||
| Sorry_Mate |
Not really been playing much, but got up to 1900 and will be leaving the 20's by the end of the week. | ||
| YATHINNK |
Mate, I tried to look you up to see how many games you'd played at the 20s cause I was gonna sit you the other day not knowing who you were. Have you blocked your stats on ProLabs and SS?
Cause I ran you through PokerOptimizer and it comes up with a total of $162 profit for Sorry_Mate. Not calling you out in your own thread like, just thought it was weird. Feel lucky I didn't sit you if PokerOptimizer is missing out so many of your results. |

That graph on that website doesn't look right at all, I was down alot more than that. I think I was down 500$ before I started playing seriously.
I have been playing abit of 50nl aswell, so a little of my money has come from that. *edit - mistake |
||
| YATHINNK |
I'd imagine the vast majority of it would have come from 50NL cause for HUSNG you have like a profit of $200 max. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I put my own name in and some other SNs and they're coming out exactly the same as SS.
Just sayin. |
||
| Sorry_Mate |
The majority of it hasn't been from 50nl, probably $250 max.
This is a bankroll building thread aswell, not an overall profit thread. I was -500$ (look at graph in OP) when I started my currently roll. I don't quite know exactly where all the money has come from, all I know is that I have $1848.90 in my account now. |

Must be a deposit then or you must be playing on different sites. My bad, without graphs and stuff I guess I just assumed you were making numbers up as you went along. | ||
| YATHINNK |
What other sites do you play on? | ||
| Sorry_Mate |
I only play on Fulltilt mate | ||

Got interested on this and searched your FTP cash stats and seems that it hasn't gone well for you..
No really need to dig this deeper for me. GL man for your games! |
