    If you play 40 hours a week on .5 1 and cant build a bankroll quit poker. I started with 50 and got it up to 1000 in two weeks multitabling .5 1. by far the easiest game on party

    horryclutch, nice name need a different one for poker though....well i do play .50/1 and then i get it up but then there is like stretches of days where i lose with monsters to bullshit, if you are so succesful at .5/1, what are the type of hands you play, and when do you quit for being ahead and quit for being down in a session?? im sure i play all better hands then you and dont chase as much as you...so thats probably another reason why you built ur bankroll so fast....i use to have a bankroll to play 200 and 400 NL on party on a daily basis but i used a lot of money on things i wnated and needed...and just trying to rebuild the bankroll again....i sometimes make $1000 in a week - because i increase my bankroll and play bigger limits...then there is a week i lose $1000....im trying to be consistently winning on a monthly basis....not just like 400-500 i want thousands a month.....ive also learned to bonus whore but it takes a lot of time...so its not the fact i cant win and make money...its the fact i think i am moving up to higher limits when i shouldn't and don't know when to move up and when to say at a limit and make money....ya know what i am saying??

    thanks for anyone who wants to help
