Cant agree more here.
Back on Dec. 28th, I made a $50 deposit on Full Tilt. This weekend I crested $1000, my first goal. Granted I had to start by playing above my bankroll, ran $170 upto $730 in .50/1 games ( I dont recommend this strategy if you are not a serious student of the game), lost $100, and then went back to grinding out the micros. I was playing 8 tables, very very tight on each one. I made that $100 up in a week or so and then began multi tabling .10/.25 and a few .25/.50 just last week.
rakeback plus a few nice days and there I was over $1000. Still making money, but still playing very tight.
Tightening up your play is something that most serious new players need to do. Just because you see someone win a huge pot with T7o or A6o doesnt mean that you can play these hands whenever profitably most of the time.
