What a crazy day today. Been playing the FTP NL10 tables and I decided it was time to take another stupid poke at NL25, obviously while being under-rolled (I had about $60). I was doing pretty well - was up $10 after a while. But then as most of you know all it takes is a big pot and some stupid decisions to lose it all. And that is exactly what happened (lost an all in 2 pair vs quads). I had the feeling all along he had a set or greater all along and knew I was going to lose but curiosity got the better of me. After that I went back to NL10 to try and make back some money. Things just got worse and I had about $25 until I started working my way back up.

Had a pretty good run and now i'm back up to $70. I've been aiming to get to $100 for quite a while now. I got quite close at $90 a couple of days ago. It's so hard to keep the money going up.. And it takes a really long time to build it up, and it's gone in a flash. It's really frustrating, but I can definitely say that I'm learning a lot.

I started on Titan poker as well and was up earlier but now I'm down a few bucks. It's seems really tough to get money from their NL5 tables. People rarely call you when you bet or raise.

I guess I just have to tough it up and put the hours in on the tables. It's discouraging though because I've pretty much spent 10+ hours per day trying to build up my roll (following Grot's guide) and I either make just a few bucks, break even, or lose a hell of a lot. Having a good run on FTP right now though

lol... 60$ at NL25? i didnt go to NL25 till 1k, but im a bankroll nit.
trust me just play tons more, i suggest to stay at nl2 or nl5, get about 200$, move to nl10
then grind there and get more experience and hours in.
nl25 is a lot harder than nl10 in my opinion.

two pair vs quads?

My work is of high quality, cheap and fast. Pick only two of those though.
