tooting my own horn

Well, I started (sorta) with $15 on PS and $2.10 on Royal Vegas and as of today, I'm up to just over $30 on PS and over $12 on Royal...While that may not sound like a lot to some of you hi rollers, I'm proud of the accomplishments because it means I'm playing smart poker (smarter then I was anyway

)

Its better than losing so good job. How long were the sessions anyway?

I started logging my sessions when my accounts hit $18 and $7 (approximately) respectively. So far, I've logged 13.75hrs on Stars (at .02/.04) for about a $12 profit and 4.75hrs on Royal (at .05/.10) for about $5. Given the limits I'm playing, I'm very happy with the results/hr (I know, we judge /100). I'm also very happy to announce that I've recently moved up to .05/.10 on Stars and am doing decent there also...

Again, this probably doesn't sound like much to you high-rollers, but if I can keep this up, and keep learning, then eventually I'll be up there with ya'll

Have to start somewhere...

Trons...the stakes don't really matter, what matters is the results. Good for you.

I am doing something similar with my free $10 on Royal Vegas. Even though I have a larger account on Starz where I play my tourneys. I have been playing .10/.20 NL exclusively on Vegas and have it up to $30.

If you were playing 1/2 you're making $65/hr, which is a pretty damn good rate. Keep it up, the more you play the better you get. But you have to realize that the higher the limit the better the play, don't get me wrong there's still the same amount of idiots theres just more good players as well as the idiots.

just make sure you keep your dicipline when you start a downturn

That will be the secret...I haven't crossed that bridge (other then the $4 I lost and was able to drop in levels again to rebuild...). I'm sure that's not the kind of down turn you're talking about...I am staying in my BR though, so hopefully I don't run 300BB downturn...
