I sat down at the $1000.00 buy-in table. I played 15 minutes two rounds. I just wanted to say I did it. I won my first two hands in the blinds for about $170.00. Damn that was scary. I played two other hands. In one I completed my SB and it was check to the river I lost, and another where I called a 2x raise with 5:spade: 7:spade: and then the BB re-raised it about 10X and I folded.

The two hands I won. So I am now a winning player at $1000 NL. :)

You'd better find a way to get that money outta there before it burns a hole in your bankroll! :D

I've often thought about jumping into a table with Johnny on FTP for $50 or something so I could be the star of one of his famous shortstack stories, but thought better of it. :laughing:

It appears that your opponents did not move up high enough to where you would respect their raises.

Ugignadl

That looks funny. You do know I've been playing 5/10 NL quite a bit live right? :D

Don't worry I cashed out the biggest part of it. I now have the largest bankroll I have ever had online, I did not, however, leave enough to play that level. Even with everything I won I didn't have enough to play that level. So I am back to the $100 NL and $20 and $50 buyin tourneys.

MewsicLovr

You know that playing those tournies needs like a 5K working bankroll at least, right?
