two2go's bankroll buildI started with $3.50 from a freeroll and worked up to about $9 playing random sng's and ring. I'm now playing HUsngs at the micro stakes. My initial goal is to get the bank roll to $50 playing the $1-2 deep stack games. The results from this weekend are below.Current BR: $25

nice ROI

Played my 100th heads up sit and go today, so time for an update from microland. Bankroll is up to $35 at the moment. Had a bit of a downswing, but now I'm back on track towards my initial goal of $50. I'm going to stick to the $2.15 games unless I drop below $30.
|
||
| two2go |
I switched up where I'm playing and started with $50 two weeks ago on a new acc. I hope to complete a $50->500 challenge similar to brokerstar, and now that school is on break there's plenty of time to play. I've just about got the br up to $100 playing the 2's and will be starting the 5's soon (I've got to escape the rake lol). | ||
| bptrippin |
Hurry to the 5's man! Will get that GR done for you this week 
|
||
| two2go |
halfway there, bankroll is up to $260 | ||
| bridgegunner |
nice work two look forward to doing some hh reviews with u again. hope they helped. | ||
| two2go |
lol at starting my bankroll build thread with a graph and roi from a 25 game sample. | ||
| two2go |
Anyways, I ran hot through the 5's and have been breaking even around $350 for the last 100ish games at the 10's. I'm planning to make some videos of my play to review and rewatch more of broker/kiekegaard's vids to get back on track. | ||
| two2go |
Not getting much volume in atm, but up to $450. | ||
| two2go |
Made it.
I'm going to take some time to come up with a realistic next step. I think broker's 500->5000 is a bit too ballar for me  .

congrats, if you can do 0-500
you can do 500-5000. GO |

you should be smiling that nits in the 20's will shove with junk. Embrace it and you'll blow through the 20's. | ||

My shot at the 20's started bad (at one point I was 1bi away from dropping back down), but things are turning around.
BR: $590

I had a chance to get in a lot more volume than usual these last couple days. I've also decided to make my next goal 2k profits. One of my original poker goals was to use my bankroll as a beer fund for my house, but Borg's sexy car pic has me thinking bigger lol.
BR: $680 |

Beer fund or Car...mmmm, sod it, I didn't wanna go out anywhere anyway

The rematch button and fish running really hot are killing me. I need to set a rematch limit for myself. | ||

Hi mate!
Went to sleep early on yesterday so didn't got your HH with me to work today, but will go through it later today. I left skype on at home so when you're online it should come to me. |
||
| two2go |
Haven't really been getting in a lot of volume lately, but have been running good in the games I've played. I'm thinking about moving to the 30's soon, but want to get about another $100 and a little more experience before I do.
BR: $700 |

Frustrating last 50 or so games of break even (even though sharkscope shows me down like 15bi??). I think I'm playing well but have not been running the best lately, but hopefully that will turn around because spring break starts tomorrow and I should be able to get in a lot more games. Also to keep me from playing super turbos there's a $50 bounty for anyone who sees me sitting a super turbo in the next month (till Feb 20). | ||
| ChrisB |
Good luck mate, I guess you mean April 20th with your bounty?

BR: $860, SS shows less because it missed a bunch of my wins this past week
Thanks to El Principio and others who reviewed hand histories for me. They pointed out some leaks and also found one game where I spewed really hard into a calling station. It's crazy how bad you can play and not even realize it until you review the game. |

| ChrisB |
Good comeback bro! Back on the right track

Yes mate that's very true. Sometimes you just need a fresh pair of eyes on things. Nice comeback from the depths of the downswing. Broker |

After yesterday's events I think it's fairly obvious I will not be building this bankroll anymore. There's way more speculation than information at the moment so it's hard to tell, but hopefully at some point I'll be able to recover the money. I'd like to look at the positives of the situation, for example how it might speed up legalization etc etc, but I'm not going to. It sucks really hard and I feel like I got shut out right as all my hard work started paying off and I was going to grind for a solid amount of money. But I also realize this hurts a lot more people worse than me and hope the best for them.
With that said I've decided it's time to close up this build (for now). I know it's not much compared to some members on the site, but I'm pretty proud of it and a lot of credit goes to members of this forum. In particular I owe a lot to bridgegunner, bptrippin, funkmaster, golden and others for looking over my games, nachtwacht and blazing for commenting on posted hands, and brokerstar for the amazing free videos. I started with a $3 freeroll bink about 4 months ago (with abs no idea how to play) and after ~800 games I've worked my way up from the $1 to the $30 games for a total of 1.2K profits. The final graph 
I'm trying to find another site to play on, so hopefully I will be able to restart this thread soon. |
||
| z1s6arn |
What happened yesterday? I think I just found out. Oh shit! | ||
| bptrippin |
That sucks man, I hope you can find a way around it! I've just started playing after a long bit of life run bad and was looking at some game reviews again!
On a positive note though dude, think we were swapping games when you were at the $1's and you've done really well to be playing the $30's now, with a tidy little profit too. Keep us posted on what transpires!
|
||
| BetMagicMoney |
this sucks man, but really well done for getting so far hopfully this will all get sorted soon and you can come back to grinding
|
||
| ProblemOfficer |
very nice topic. have read of all it
gl with your BR... this sucks, DOJ sucks |
||
| two2go |
If you want you can just ship me a HH. Reviews over skype/mikogo are a new thing I've tried that also works well. I don't have any new games to review at atm and I'm planning on spending this break studying. So I'd be happy to look at a game or two. |
||
| evprop |
brilliant bankroll build two2go, im wounded for you after whats gone off!!
quite inspirational read and hope you get back into it oneday... how long did it take for you to go from 50-500 etc? |
||
| bptrippin |
Much appreciated mate, will look for one and ship it to you soon | ||
| two2go |
I started a new bankroll build today with $100 on the Merge network. So far the $6 turbos are really really soft, can't imagine how bad they must have been before black friday. Also, I'm actually getting rematches when I win in over 5 hands . I had to fight through some coolers and a disconnect but ended up 3bi for the day. Some initial goals
[ ] $100 -> $500 [ ] 3 game reviews or sweat sessions a week [ ] find cool and opponent tilting avatar pic (open to suggestions) Current BR: $118.50 |

two2go good luck glad to have u back. skype me sometime i would love to sweat or help in anyway i can
good luck u will crush again |

| izual |
Not bad, thanks for all the info! | ||
| two2go |
I'm up ~$50 after about 120 $6 turbo husngs. Have been running very poorly, which I'm trying to work out with volume. I always thought my endgame was strong, but I'm finding plenty of leaks reviewing these turbos. Definitely have to work on taking small edges and not making stack size (betsizing) mistakes postflop. People on this site also 3bet a lot which I'm not used to.

Will be on the hunt for a new one soon because I don't think this one has the tilt factor going for it, but for now it's
I'm thinking the next one will incorporate Sarah Palin .

| AxeMage |
LOL @ ^ |
||
| two2go |
Why do I get the feeling I'm going to be hacked :/ I've moved up a bi to the reg speeds (hopefully leaving those @#$# turbos behind forever). I much prefer playing predictable breakeven or slight winners at regular speeds than maniacs in a super fast structure. I'm halfway to $500 at this point. |
||
| two2go |
Been mostly away from the forums for a bit, but I want to start this up again and post more. I ran up my merge bankroll playing hu cash until I was rolled for 50NL. At this point I experienced a brutal downswing, so now I'm back down to 25NL. I'd like to get back into to husngs and grind a mixture of both cash and mid-stakes hu tourneys.
PM me for skype if you play midstakes and want to go over a short hh/video a week or just talk general strategy. |

| memo20 |
Very nice read and inspiring thread gl sir. | ||
| BetMagicMoney |
keep going bro
|
||
| two2go |
first 1k hands. Also up ~$50 from sng. Would be nice to have a bit more of the ev.
|
||
| two2go |
Ugh, moved up a level in husng and lost 7/9. Mostly run-bad I think, but I might just stick to cash for a while. | ||
| two2go |
Winning at an unsustainable rate atm (lol sample size). I should be able to get in a lot more volume when exams finish later this week. |
||
| two2go |
Book dec as my best ev+rb month since moving to cash . Almost rolled to move up and farther away from the killer rake.
|
||
| two2go |
Action on merge is so bad.... wait forever then only play regs on a friday night. | ||
| two2go |
Meh, is kinda what I think about January. It started well, but I've been pretty much breakeven since the first week or so. I don't think I'm going to quit playing hu cash, but moving up in husng is probably going to be my focus from here on out. It seems like a better longterm choice given the insane amount of bumhunters at 50+ stakes. Turbo action is pretty much terrible on the site playing, so I would also like to start mixing in some hyper turbos. I really don't enjoy playing them at all, but I think they will be a profitable addition. I feel like I've been putting in a lot more study time than usual for husng, but like usual volume is one of the biggest problems (lol school).
