Default Oh well..

Well I have been cutting down on the Poker. I am building my roll slowly. Hopefully I will beat TP and get a nice 25 bucks on Empire so I can piss that away.

Since all my money is on Party for now I think tonight will be:

A) Step Challenge. Yeah, its 10% of my roll to get in, but the payouts good!
B) Some 25/NL or .50/1 Ring. Not sure which yet.

Wish me luck! Maybe I can make level 5 by tonight. lol.

I think putting 10% of your roll into the Step Challenge is a very bad idea. Yes, the payouts are good, but you are a ridiculous longshot to take that down. I think the Steps are much better for fun money, or money you feel like gambling on a longshot with... more like a lottery ticket than a way to increase one's bankroll.

Just my 2 cents.

P.S. You owe me 25 bucks

Sir withdraw your money off empire, party, stars, etc and deposit it all on empire to take advantage of the reload bonus.

The step challenge is a horrible choice to rebuild. You're a smart player - don't let a small bankroll influence bad decisions.

$10+1 SnGs on Party / Empire are so soft when there are over 40k people online. I suggest them if you are going to venture away from ring games.

Also the steps are a waste... you have like a 1 in 2000 chance of winning 9K or whatever 1st place is.

You should just gather your money... get the reload bonus on Empire and play some $25 NL or $50 NL... these games are really soft.

Yeah, I am thinking of playing more NL since .50/1 limit is driving me f**kin* crazy!
