BiggyE.. One way of building a b'roll from close to scratch I found is playing SnG's... You usually are in the $ in the top 3rd of any given field usually... I agree with my fellow pokerologists in staying away from the MTT's for now, your fear will disapate with time as your confidence builds... Also, I like to add that when you have a monster hand, don't think your always going to get sucked out... it DOES happen at times, but that is the game...try setting up some traps w/your monster's and don't overbet, because mostly if you always overbet these hands, your giving every1 at the table the most common tell & signal that what you have is a very good hand, and keep away from showing your hand, why alert others what u have and how u bet with certain hands...ppl DO make notes on betting habits/styles... I've played w/ you many times and have watched many of your games as u know, and I do see an improvement from when I 1st met you...See you soon on the o/line felt !!!!!

P.S. remember my 25 % !!!!!!!
