I've been mostly playing fixed limit... I'm raising 3x blinds and half pot a lot of the time. I think that's okay.
However, I tend to hang on to drawing hands too much. Risking elimination 3/4 of the time before you're in the money is NOT a winning strategy. Obviously.
I used to know how to play something small-ballish, but I never ended in top places with it - I hung on pretty well, but didn't have the chips for late game, usually.

Bankroll Management... working.
I'm up from my all-time low of about $15 at Partypoker, to about $32.
Still need to make about $8 more, to be able to play at 0.10/0.20 FL, which also makes a $2 buy-in into a NL game a total of 5% of my bankroll, meaning I can play 0.01/0.02 NL.
0.15/0.30 Limit requires a bankroll of $60, so that's my next target - a 0.02/0.04 NL takes $80, which is also the limit for 0.20/0.40 FL.
Thinking back, that's where I was, a couple of months ago. I was playing a lot of $6 - $11 double up sit-and-go games. Alas, all it took was a few losses in a row, and when each loss is $11, a bankroll of $80 didn't last long.

Reading Super System 2
Jennifer Harman's chapter on Fixed Limit, is rather interesting.
I've pretty much given up on getting rich quick schemes, instead I'm sticking to proper bankroll management.
In PartyPoker, this means... actually, let's make a list:

In PartyPoker, this means... actually, let's make a list:
- <$20 : 2/4 Fixed Limit.
- $20-40: 5/10 Fixed Limit
- $40-60: 1/2 No Limit, 10/20 Fixed Limit
So Forth.

Helsinki Grand Casino
Visited. Had one decent hand, which was AK. Flop had king, went all in, doubled up against KQ .
I had to make a train, so I'm afraid I may have left a bad first impression on the other players, though, I pretty much left right after winning that hand.
I'm not really playing that well otherwise, or at least I've lost at Partypoker again.
