Kanitey's BR Build Inspired by Kierk (500-x)Started with 100 on stars back in octoberThen transfered money ive built up on FTP about $180 Started grinding out the $2 (4) man husng and now worked my way up to the $10 4 mans I currently have $720 built up on stars at this point.

Nice work dude.
Just keep moving up, epic win rate so far man. Broker |
||||||
| U Cook Socks |
That's a truly sick win rate, even for $5 games. Take it from someone who was a complete bankroll nit, and had a similar bankroll before moving up to the $10s, do it now, and when you realise the players are every bit as bad, and you make a bomb load more $ move up to the $20s.
Be prepared to move back down, but don't waste to much time at any level, you are clearly good enough to crush higher stakes than you are playing. Good Luck, I got a good feeling about this one. |
||||||
| golden |
i'm thinking about moving to the 20's soon, i'm hoping to hit about $800 then move up. but i'm not sure if there is alot of traffic for $20 4 mansng. Might have to move to the 2 man's. | ||||||
| BetMagicMoney |
very nice  as long as you know you have to move down if you drop X amount of buyins then i would move straight to the $20s as the players are all the same

guys im looking for someone to review my game, someone who has beatin the 10's or in the 20's+. been a slight loser in a past few games, need to kick start my confidence! | ||||||
| U Cook Socks |
Mate, a few games is nothing, a few hundred is next to nothing, just keep doing what you were doing to crush the $5s as you were, and before you know it, you will be doing the same to the $10s. I can't really commit to doing HH reviews right now, I am really sorry, or I would have helped you. Post some hands on the forum that you think you misplayed, or had tough decisions with. |

on a bit of a downswing, don't know what it is feeling like im playing bad, not tilting thou, gonna watch a few vids for maybe an hour, then ill hit the tables again soon after | ||||||
| golden |
even after taking a break and watching a few vids, im on a bit of a downswing, lol actually the biggest downswing i've experienced yet, down to $656 not feeling to good about it, gotta build up my confidence again. | ||||||
| U Cook Socks |
Go back to the $5s then, and set yourself a target not to far away to have another stab at the $10s. Your roll is still well sick for the $10s, but if you aren't feeling good, just take a step back, and go back to the $5s for a short time. The players are every bit as bad at the $10s, but these things get in your head (I know this from experience) Plus it's hard when you move up and you hit a bad streak, as every loss hit's you twice as hard. Don't sweat it mate, it will happen. |
||||||
| bridgegunner |
take step back and review some of your games when u were crushing and try and pick out wat you have been doing differently in your downswing games. i know that helped me alot and reviewing my upswing games brought my confidence back by seeing how well i was playing. remember the opponents are the same at the 5,s and 10s so just crush em like u have been . cold cards happen but all we can control is the decisions we make in every hand. dont get fancy against these guys they are just dying to spew off there chips to u just look for the right spot. | ||||||
| TheHUSNGDude |
check out red dogs coaching thread...$15 or $20 for HH....$$$$$ well spent dude |
||||||
| golden |
gonna play playing games later on tonight, now im just going back to videos, reviewing games, hopefully i'll go on a winning streak again. | ||||||
| golden |
After being down quit a bit, maybe $80?, i'm back up again now at $742
i was fed up with then 4 man sit and go's , even though i was doing well in them, i failed to cash for about 7 straight, so i decided to take a shot at the 2 man. And after looking at the stats i decided that i'm gonna stick to the 2 mans. Sats for $10 level 
|
||||||
| golden |
i took a stab at the20's today and won my first game, will be playing more tonight
current roll :$790 |
||||||
| golden |
starting to get used to the $20's, playing more regs then used to, but i'm still keeping up.

after a sick downswing i'm back up again and finally hit $1000.
|
||||||
| BetMagicMoney |
Boom! | ||||||
| golden |
on a down swing again down 10 bi  , sucksssssssss
|
||||||
| golden |
After a sick downswing to about 600, i'm up again! In about two weeks i've recovered and got my roll to $1050 and achieved silver status on stars.
Thanks alot to IceMan who sweated up, and continues to talk strategy with me, he continues to help improve my game. Even though my ROI is shot to about 14%, i'm still happy on where I am. Hopefully ill be playing the 30's real soon. so roll at: 1040 (side note) I tend to learn the most when i lose the most.
|
||||||
| BetMagicMoney |
everytime i've learned somthing big its off the end of a big downswing  glad your back up to $1K, keep it up
BMM |
||||||

Well done mate, keep grinding away. If I have spare time I am always happy to help as long as I'm not putting in volume myself
|

|
||||||
| golden |
lost three in a row.. mostly to bad beats, played about 10 or 11 so far, break then back to grinding.
Ps. i dislike runner runner straights. and i transferred $10 to ftp as a tilt account, so when im off my game/ on a bit of tilt, i shall 2-3 table $2 games and work my way up, except cash out at a few hundred or transfer funds to stars, good idea or no? |
||||||
| two2go |
lol, I recommend $1 turbos. Also if you want to talk strategy or w/e you should add me on skype. |
||||||
| golden |
Long time no update, my roll still stays the same, haven't played in the past two days, have a test tomorrow , been 4 maning $20 games on ftp with two2go, with much success , my tilt roll is going boom.
and i think i'm becoming an awesome multi tabler , lets see if i can transition these skills on my main roll.
i should post graphs soon.... |

||||||
| golden |
after 60 games at the 30's ive had a loss of $115, it's pretty sick, starting the 30's with a negative roi, just sickens me. I'm just so motivated to crush the game, guess i just gotta work harder.
BR@1191 |
||||||
| forced |
stay positive, there are times i wish i did.
you'll crush those 30's |
||||||
| U Cook Socks |
Meh, 60 games and you are 4 buy ins down, it's nothing. As BrokerStar will confirm, my first attempt at the $50s I think I lost like 15 buy ins, or it may have been more, can't remember exactly.
Hard on the brain. Stay strong. |
||||||
| golden |

||||||
| U Cook Socks |
Those $30 games on a weekend, are liking taking sweets of a baby. I wish I had more time to play on a Saturday, would up my hourly rate by quite a lot.
I wouldn't get over frustrated, you have come a long way, and you are still doing okay, it will turn round if you keep making the right plays. |
||||||
| golden |

|
||||||
| golden |
haven't updated in a while, school has been real busy
br is at 1.7k and my tilt roll is around 160( playing turbo's) more updates once school is over
|
||||||
| two2go |
Nice, you'll make it 2k soon. We should get some 4mans going to up that tilt roll .
|
||||||
| golden |
finished school and will be playing full time for the summer.
I Entered a $1 rush tourney on ftp for kicks and ended up first for 1k, not sure if it should be included in this thread's roll as its not HUSNG, what do you guys think? so my total Br is : $2980 |
||||||
| bptrippin |
Very nice man its your thread so up to you I guess?
If it was me I wouldn't but that's only as I'll be using mine as a gage of how my heads up play is improving...but I guess its a BRB thread and that monies is in your BR so we you like
|
||||||
| two2go |
Nice score, so much for a tilt roll .
|
||||||
| golden |
lol we busted my tilt roll
made that few bucks from RB into like $160 playing turbos then 1K+ bink I should be on tilt more often.. |
||||||
| golden |
First major update:
Been 2 tabling 30's and 20's my roll at the moment is $3337 , almost at my 5k goal and i still haven't played a $50 game yet lol. I haven't been doing so well at the 30's; i think this is my reason for not wanting to take a shot at the 50's. I feel like im playing great, so i think i should stop being such a puss. I want to be getting in around 30-40 games a day now that i'm playing full time. Props to bridgerunner for helping me with my HUD, and chrisB for everything poker lol. Here are some graphs/charts: 
Today's results: a little short of my daily volume goal.
