Those are nice numbers. How much was your initial deposit and what limits do you play now? I'm guessing you moved up too fast, but it sounds like it worked out for you. Well done (assuming you are playing more within your bankroll now).

The only time I played outside of my bankroll was when I first started. Some site was offering a free $25 on Empire if you signed up through them. I did so, and played a few $11 SNGs on there, and got it up to $150. I cashed out, moved the money to NoblePoker and played in their million dollar SNGs (again $11 buy-ins). Got it up to $400 through those ultra soft games. Ever since then I have played within my bankroll (300 BB in limit and 20 buy-ins in NL) and built it up a lot through bonus whoring. I'm currently playing 5/10 LHE.

Actually the winnings from the past three months have been over 5K, but I bought a new computer, about a dozen poker books, and a various poker programs (SNG power tools, Poker Tracker, & Poker Ace Hud).

Well done. Always nice to read a success story.

I've won $220 live in a home game, and lost $150 online in a single night.
