have you tried any of the training sites? If your patience is low, what about playing heads up matches? 50/50 shot at doubling your money every time. Play some $50 matches and if you go on a run, you'd be up a few hundo in an hour or two. Then take a shot at $100 HU.

You understand that is not how poker works, no?

Geez man, sounds like a recipe to faster busto.. Why not play some $500. matches, go on a run and be up a few K in an hour or two? Better earnings (or losses) per hour..

Not quite. Still go to pay the rake. :D

doesn't sound like the other way is working out for the guy. Just suggesting a shorter route to doubling his deposit. Of course he can lose, that's a known factor once you decide to gamble

I think bankroll mngt is the major concern here, I mean, you'd have to be on quite the heater to crush the 50 and 100 HU matches, the competition at those levels must be pretty fierce.

If your really not keen on playing the micro levels, maybe take a week or two off, try to re-evaluate your game a bit, find some leaks and come back with a slightly bigger deposit so you can comfortably move up a little bit.

STT's I'd recomend 40-50 BI's, 30 BI's for the occasional shot taking, and MTT's with larger feilds try and keep it at 75-100 BI's.

Maybe have a stop loss as well, if your tilting, and down 'x' BI's on the day, quit and try again the next day with a clearer head.

Oh, and GL!!

Isn't the consensus for cash games 20-40 buyins? Now I realize that since dj takes money out of his "bankroll" if he gets a decent win it doesn't really apply.
He, like the majority of us, I think you included, are recreational players so it doesn't apply in quite the same way.
Not sure if dj knows whether he is a long term winner at poker or not and obviously if someone is not it doesn't matter what the size of his bankroll is.

I think the key is to find a game he can beat. I don't think that sngs are the answer, but he has his stats.
