888 captinsimple

I struggled with bankroll management, I was playing ok but I also got very lucky, and very over confident, then started to play in bigger games that I was not bankrolled for.
Depositing small amounts at first and busting, but I knew I could get better at the game and beat the micro steaks, even if it took me forever 😂
888 was a lot softer back in 2016, it was a great time😊 Playing freerolls helped my bankroll so much.

Practiced a lot, studied a lot, got so much better with my bankroll management.
Won a $320 ticket form coming 2nd in a level 20 Freeroll, that's the big strait drop down, I guess they put tickets as cash paid so I am actually +$320 😄
Made it to level 80 last year so I have a few good freerolls to play each month now too.

Now I play up to $11 for tournaments, and sometimes I'll play the $16.50c, I like to practice at 5-10NL cash games.

I just really enjoy the game, and want to keep improving.

Let me know what you think 😊Criticism welcome (y)

My goal was to make it big from the micro steaks, and be that guy.
What this has taught me is that I could have made more money getting paid to hit my head against a brick wall, and my head would still hurt the same, maybe less.
This has been a massive grind 😆 If I didn't love this game, I should have quit a long time ago for my own sanity.

For a $2 avg stake there are an alarming amount of $100ish drops there.

I've found the key to the micros is never go big after a heater in a small game. Keep consistent with your buy-in amounts (use whatever bankroll management you're comfortable with, but stick to it) and grind that up slowly. Have patience. Both in-game and with your bankroll. At the micros a half decent player will show profit if they are able to keep the urge to take a big shot under control.
Slow, steady, and consistent.
