And it's extremely fun because it's like a challenge and you earn every penny you have.

What I've done was I got a ticket from a freeroll then cashed in round 2 and then I focused on the 25 cent 90 person tourneys and owned. And I moved up to 1.40 90 person knockouts and got bb'd hard in a handful of tourneys in a row so I had to drop down to 25 cents again. I've gone through huge bad chance sprees in live play in the past and every time I got emotional and furious and I thought it wasn't fair. This time though I simply moved on to the next tournament not even slightly bothered because I know in my heart I've played the way I wanted to and I had the advantage. my play wasn't effected at all by it, it was an amazing feeling. I've been doing 2 or 3 at once and I'm back up to the 1.40 and 2.20 90 person sit n go range.

I'm excited to partake in the 11 dollar deep stack in 9 days next Saturday. (I'm guessing I'll have 50+ dollars in my bankroll by then)

I feel that through this process I build the strongest possible base and understanding of poker going through all the levels in a meticulous manner. I will start playing cash game once my bankroll exceeds 100 dollars.

This is my idea of fun.

This makes me sad. Ive have been employing this strategy since i joined stars and havent made it to round 2 yet. I usually have to sit out the first 2 or 3 rounds because someone goes all in every hand. Then i have to struggle to survive the rest of the way as a short stack. Got any tips?
