i have had trouble even beginning to go up from my initial deposit in the last 4 months but i kept depositing 20 dollars at a time....before I was playing very erratically and going on tilt all the time and losing the remaining 12 dollars i had after losing the first 8. I have since learned better emotional control and the last 20 dollars i deposited on carbon is now up to 69 dollars... I have continued to grow my bankroll and seemingly only lose when I get bad beats. My skill level of play has increased since playing my first live tournament. I now have 2 under my belt and I am planning on playing a 75 dollar bounty tourney tonight!!! Wish me luck!
