dude took you 3 months to win $3 is not a good sign.
Congratulations on the nice bump to your bankroll.
There is also a wild west tourney under the private tab for 50 cents + 10 cents...
lol...he didn't deposit anything, and given that he didn't spend any of his own money to build a roll of 75, what he has accomplished is really commendable. 3 dollars isn't a lot, but starting with 0 and making 75 is a pretty big deal.
Unless you plan to withdraw your winnnings, i suggest you look into articles on bankroll management. Now that you have a decent amount in your account, your biggest and most important goal should be to make sure your bankroll does not go to 0, or it will take another 3 months and a lot of luck to get to where you are now.
Some basic rec's that I can share with you would be to only play cash games for which you have 40 buy-ins, SNG's for which you have 60 buy-ins, and MTT's for which you have 100 Buy-ins.
The above guidelines, pretty much would have you playing stakes so low, that the probability of variance making your entire bankroll go bust would be very small. Playing at such small stakes will require a lot of patience especiallys since you cashed at a MTT with just one buy in.
I'd suggest you give the above structure a try or something close to it, and play very small buy in tourneys. You can make an exception for 1.10 buy in tourneys. Depending on your preferences, you might want to stick to the small stakes and slowly grind your bankroll up until you can play the next steak.
Or you might just want to be reckless and take a few shots with a predetermined chunk of your roll. Say for example, decide to play whatever you want, but once you lose 25 dollars and are down to 50, you will only play small stakes to grind back up to 75.
I realized I probably just rambled a lot, but I hope this helps. Watch some youtube videos on bankroll management and dont be embarrassed to grind out .11 c or 50 c tourneys or SNG's. Or if your a cash game player, don't be embarrassed to play at a low stake. Listen to your brain when it comes to bankroll management and you will definitely stretch your 75 dollars a long way. And remember, there is no room for tilt. If you feel like you are tilting, go to the play money tables. It took you many long months to get to where you are now, don't ruin it bc of frustration from one hand.
Good Luck Man, and let us know how it works out.
Nice, just keep playing the lower buyins and satellites...you can build a monster roll with that if you play well
I agree, now that you have a reasonable stack, you should implement some bankroll management. Good Luck!Quote:

LOL LOCK!!! congrat man!!! now gl ever getting money off there though people are selling lock money at like 50c on the dollar cuz you never get it back
I love those 250 guaranteed,but be careful cause I got first and got like 92 bucks then lost half of it playing those same tourneys
Wow i know the issues with lock but im making a point that this site works for micro stakes guys that is all!
yea bankroll management is the key to poker! One day I might actually use it lol
Congrats! Those 250 gtd and 300 gtd seem to do ok for me, as well. Continued success and keep building that bankroll! :)
Wow, you bought in for your whole bankroll and aced it? Grats!
wow sounds good. keep up the good work. those are fun tourneys to play
Don't listen to the haters. You made money from nothing at something that you enjoy doing. You cant beat that. Don't get me wrong I am not saying to quit your day job but at the same time. We are all playing for fun anyways. My friends are making fun of me all the time because I am playing poker for hours to win cents. But I am learning and I enjoy playing. Great job and good luck in the future.
great job man keep up the good work
I just turned my 1.10 into a 11 dollar tournament entry
The step and go tournaments are really good on Carbon you should check them out
Congrats. Just a heads up though.. You're probably gonna blow your first 75$, but thats all good. It'll be a learning process.
ignore Douche408, man - nice job and keep at it. and REALLY pay attention to the advice folks are giving you about BR management
You did a good job... Have a nice time playing more.
