Dear Beelzenef,
You finished the tournament in 386th place.
A $74.29 award has been credited to your Real Money account.
Congratulations!
Thank you for participating.
Needless to say, my first Sunday Hundred Grand went well. I also had a nice session yesterday that consisted of a ridiculous heater. I think I hit sets on a third of my pocket pairs, which was quite fun. I made $50 in 1200 hands (NL10), and then since the tables seemed fishy and I was running good I decided to play some more Sunday Hundred Grand sats. I spent $6.60 and won two seats to this week's tournament  .
My bankroll is now a hair over $600, with maybe $150 of that coming from MTT and SNG play. I'm rolled for NL25 now, but I still haven't decided whether I'd rather move up or switch to a site with rakeback. Everyone says rakeback is very important at small stakes, but I can't really decide where to go. I also just read some stuff lately about FTP's rakeback being dealt rather than contributed, which makes it sound a lot better in comparison to Prima than I thought. Rednines is contributed rakeback, isn't it?
Maybe I'll just stay on Stars, since it's been working out for me so far and I'm a creature of habit. Is rake more painful on NL25 than NL10?
Edit: My HM stats, in case anyone cares:

Congrats on your tourney cash =]
As for the rake, I think it gets better the higher up you move? I don't know much about it but I was under the impression that rake was the worst at the microstakes, so presumably the higher up you go in them, the less bad it would become? |

Rake is less at nl25 than nl10 I believe. Congrats on the tourney score! |

rake should be the worst on NL25-NL100 I guess.
Do u play FR or 6max? If you play Fr def go to a site with dealt method. |

Or you could go to site with rakeback AND move up to NL25 :O
Move down if you get below $400 tho. |

My plan was to only move part of my roll, since it's hard for me to deposit on Stars. But yes, I do want to move up as soon as possible too. |

rake is worst at nl.25 and nl.50 afaik
so rakeback is most important when grinding out these stakes. |

I think it's gonna slow you down if you split up your roll this early :O |

I guess the most sound plan would be to go for NL25 on Stars, and if I see that the rake is really hurting me I can move to another site when my roll gets large enough to split it and still jump straight into NL25 at another site. There's no need to switch yet.
My winrate at NL10 has been quite swingy, going as low as 8bb/100 (note that's not PTBB/100) when I was still in my breakeven stretch, so I'm not confident of beating NL25 by much when I first get there. |

rake is worst for 50nl buyinwise. stick to stars 25nl and move to a different site with 900, grind up to 1000 on 25nl and then play 50nl with 1kbr, this is my 2 cents.
you have to move up agressively because you dont learn shit playing vs donkeys grinding out 4ptbb/100 on 10nl. just move up, learn where the money actually matters to you and get better pronto cause 1 session of 5 buyins now is 200$ !!! less than 5 buyins at say 50nl. it makes a difference. hf. stick to cash don't play sngs aswell. hope this helps. |

Yeah, I tried mixing up my opening ranges a lot for a while to see how things would go. I varied between 24/21 and 12/10, and I make the most money playing tight when the tables are loose. There are lots of bluffmonkeys and stations on NL10 at some hours of the day, and I get plenty of action even just playing 14/12 or even nittier. When the tables are tighter I'm usually around 17/14, but I'd rather tailor my opening ranges to what makes me money than try to blindly maintain certain stats. 24/21 was fun but I think I'll have to wait for higher stakes to start trying to get fancy.
Edit: also I suck at postflop play . |

yeah, I figured i would keep playing loose in order to improve my postflop play, seeing as its definitely possible to profitably play 22/20 or so. (seeing as midian did it 8D )
but I actually find it difficult to make myself play tight, find it really hard not to raise it up when I'm on the button with 75s ^^;; |
