well, its been great fun while recovering from my injury, and without depositing a single dollar i even had the account up to $110 US!

ok, so i lost it all and have to start again but at least i know it's possible to come out better off

long way to go before becoming pro though i feel....

anyone else had any good experiences or play regularly?

I still play, mainly on facebook and such....tried it for real money years ago...$50 lasted me a long time with microbetting until i got impatient and greedy...had it up to $160 at one stage then blew it one night while I was pissed

Made my living of the Double or Nothing tournaments last year, look up 'tacgnol' on sharkscope.com for my stats...
Games have changed in the last 12 months, that's for sure. My play has gotten worse too obviously. I considered moving to cash and am playing a bit of 10NL at the moment but I've got a real job now so I no longer play to pay the rent.
If you want to really get into it and not bust your roll, lower stakes DoN's are really good - just read up on some strategy first. Same with low stakes cash, but much more swingy. It is reccomended that a winning player at any particular stakes at cash games should have 40 buyins so that they can avoid busting during a bad patch (so 400$ to play 10NL, 1k to play 25NL etc). Although at the lower stakes it is less of an issue.
If you want strategy, www.twoplustwo.com forums are a goldmine.
