I was congratulating him. Phil seems to be one of the only players on here who is trying to build a bankroll and/or improve his game...or who actually plays poker. As compared to players who haven't learned anything or made any profit over years of posting on a poker forum it is refreshing and I hope that he does well even if he does type like a 14yr old school girl at times.
Thanks GTA:), I have said in another thread, I am working on the typing and not being lazy with grammar on here along with poker.:)
I use the threads to keep my motivation up so I can keep moving forward:)
I'm with ya Philli. I've been playing the $6.50 6man turbo SNG with the same $100 for the past year or so. It's been at least a year since I've done a deposit now that I think about it. So...I'm doing the same bankroll building as you are, and trying to learn here as much as I can as well. Bankroll goes up, it goes down, repeat. Down to $20 the other day (after the forum tourney in which my ass got kicked), got it back up to around $45 now.
You're not alone Philli! You motivate others with your posts!
If these threads are helping to motivate others on here then I am even more happy.:)
I played 4 games the other day and cashed in all 4, but no 1sts, and that is all I have played the last 2 days, bit of a break I guess, but should start again today or tomorrow.
I played 3 last night. One 1st, one 2nd., one not so good. Hoping to play some today before we go out for the new year festivities which will include:
PS3
Guitar Hero World Tour with drum kit and guitar of course
Guitar hero Metallica
Guitar hero Aerosmith
Rock band AC/DC
Mrs. Snuggie is quite pissed about the fact that you can't use the drums with ac/dc or aerosmith. I attempted to explain/console that they were created before the drum kit existed. Failed. Still pissed. FML.

Wooooot, just got a 1st! I was down to 330 chips and came back to win all 25k:wink2:.
Just a 18 man micro, would have been better if it was low limits of course.
I am starting to use the color notes on full tilt so this is what I am using....
green for loose players
red for tight players
yellow for not sure and calling stations.
So of course if you use a hud you will know this once the game starts but I am using it as a kinda plan ahead when registering if I see these tags in the lobby as I know I what I will be getting into and can adjust.
Now I doubt i will run into the same people that often but still could be a good thing.:)
Finally got a 1st in a 18 man after a string of 3rd's and thinking I will never win one again:-[.
The guy had a 8-1 chip lead but I called his shove with k9 and that started his self destruction and I was able to take advantage of that.:)
Playing 2 tables and both games jumped to a chip lead but then it started going downhill but this 1 game I was able to capitalize on opponents mistakes and not give up.
Make that 3 games in a row jumping to chip lead, awesome!...........

I'm only typing this because she's still asleep and thus less chance she'll see it, thus less trouble for me!

I was following coach Hobbes advice.;)
Solid patient poker ftw!
Also bubbled a 18 man before that=booooo

2 bubbles in a row abshdhfncfhfjdsjnd, very dissappointed:(.
Also that FED guy was on the rail in one of my games I think, wants to learn mad skills from me I guess,lol:D
Again since I was on a losing streak it is only the buck 50's, I want to play the 3.50's more regularly though.
Again anytime ya get a 1st is good, more so after another losing streak so even though small buy ins, it still picks me up and regains some of my confidence.
