Brag: From $11 to 'x'>$1,000,000
Hello 2+2,
As I promised before, I said I would write the long version of my story so here it is! (I'm a bit lazy, maybe I'll keep it short)
To start off, yes I did win a $11 donkament for a 1st place of $700ish, forgot the exact amount. Then as most of you know, I started grinding up from midstakes HUPLO to highstakes HUPLO for a week and turned my BR into 6 digits. After all the action died down at PLO, I took a shot at NLHE.
With NLHE, my BR was literally on a roller-coaster with high points of up to 1.3m and low points of about 400k. After a few weeks, I learned a lot of how UB regs play and exploited their weaknesses, which explains my sudden upswing in NLHE these past few days. I'm learning everyday, trying to cover my leaks and win at a constant rate.
Too bad PTR doesn't keep track of PLO or else it would show over a mil in profit. I can't find a single table of PLO thats 25/50 or higher anymore, I miss playing HUPLO.
Just a little bit about myself, I'm from Vancouver and I played poker for about 2 years. I only started online recently. I'm not isildur1(lol?) and I don't have other poker accounts. I'm just a new guy playing nosebleeds. Everyone sees me as a fish on the sickest heater ever but surely a heater can't last 2 months? I know I hear a lot of "cash out now, you'll go busto if you don't" and etc... but to be honest, it's my money and If I feel like I can win constantly, then I will keep playing. I am going to cash out at least half after Xmas though and build up the rest.
About graphs and pics and such, sorry I don't use any tools to assist me while playing(I don't even know what they're called).
To all the supporters, thanks a lot and merry christmas to you.
You can leave some questions here, I will try to answer them when I have time. *Will only answer reasonable questions.

Re: Brag: From $11 to 'x'>$1,000,000
What stakes did you play before this?
Do you plan on playing on Full Tilt or Pokerstars in the future?
What's the first thing you're gonna buy when you cash out?

I was playing small stakes and random tournaments/sngs. I might play on Full Tilt next year but not sure. I'll probably treat all my friends to dinner/drinks, and maybe buy an apartment/house.

You'd really see something if they increased the limits here.

I am currently playing 50/100, 100/200 and 200/400. I will consider playing on full tilt for PLO action, but still unsure if I want to move my money around poker accounts.
Quick tips -
1. You only need 10 buy ins, just buy in short and play small pots.
2. Build your own game, dont follow the path of other people's game.
3. Try to play without emotion. I feel the same when i lose a 50k pot as I do when I win a 50k pot. (Although secretly, I'm smiling inside when I win)
