I wanna' here stories of people's breakthroughs' that got 'em started comfortably on the road to long term online play. Hug tourney take down, insane hot streak, whatever I wanna hear it. Tired of hearing about soooo many bad streaks and bitching about "woe is me i'm down so much even though I don't attempt anything to better my game" stories. Blow it up!

I grinded stars super hard, playing 100 12 180s a day as well as all the mid/low stakes tournaments. On sundays I played the majors and 100 freezeouts as well. Everytime I got my roll to 15kish I would dump 5k of it on full tilt and play mid/high stakes until i had to move back and grind stars really hard again. Two months ago I put 5k on full tilt I went on an absurd heater shipping 33r, 200t, 8th in 500 milli, and 8th in 1k monday.
I think i saw you almost won both of the big doubles a month or two ago.

got a bit of money from an uncle who was about to pass (serious story) part of it was for tuition at u-wisco, and then i could do as i pleased with the rest so i deposited a bit (bunch) on stars... i felt like i was really close to shipping a big one. two sundays later binked the stars version of the 50-50 for 15k then two weeks later shipped 8th in the second chance when ruso's a8 knocked out my jj... still made like 8k'ish

Not a huge break story here, more of a persistence thing. Started in 2002 on Party when I put a hundred bucks online. Won two $10 SNGs immediately. Played a 20+2 MTT a couple of days later and got second for about $2,200. Next week got 4th in a 20+2 MTT for $900.
Gave it all back and then some over the next few years.
Studied and kept playing.
Got slightly profitable through low limit cash in 2007 and better at MTT in 2008. Kept studying.
October 11 this year. Played well, ran better in the Sunday Million for 3rd and 120K. Still hard to believe.

Went on a 17k heater from 3 tourneys in 4 days
8th in the Double duece for 3k
2nd in 50/50 for $6600
2nd in 30R for $7400 (played crzsavage HU for just over an hour- that was a painful lesson on correct HU play :( )
Jesus huge downswings suck so trying to keep going but I'm runnin outta gas right about now!!

back in january of this year i had a sunday where i had nothing to do. i had $10 in my ftp account and played an $8 + 0.80 tier one satellite, which i won. i then won the $26 + 2 tier two satellite and i figured i might as well play a $69 + 6 satellite into the 750k on ftp. obviously, i won that and ended coming in 4th in the 750k for $41,400. my account went from $10 to $41,401.20 in a day. i love satellites!

Put $50 on stars back in '04. Two nights in a row FT'ed the $2.25 MTT, 2nd the first night, 3rd the second, instant $500 bankroll. Didn't play much until the after college. Hit FTP and won a $26 Omaha MTT for $1.5K. Sattied into the $750K and took 11th for $7.5K, then FT'ed the $35K Guar. for $5K, won a bracelet race on FTP for $2K to any WSOP Event seat, took 32nd in the $2.K NLHE event for $12K.
Since then, been running AWFUL. But it's always nice to be in the black vs. the red so nothing to complain about really. Up 5 digits in '08 and up 5 digits in '09 as a recreational player, so pretty excited.
