I started with $100 split with 50 on PS and 50 on Pacific, I lost it all on Pacific, and reloaded another 40 there..haven't played there in awhile, so I'm not sure where exactly it stands at the moment.
My role at PS went down below $20 during this stupid play period, mostly playing 2NL, 5NL and $1 STT. After the realization I've both been playing much more smartly, and I've had some pretty sweet cards - holding 77 with a K 7 7 flop with two other all in's...., my role is back over 50 now and running nicely.
There is definately no better teacher then experience, and I'm getting more confident in my play against the maniacs. The difficulty is when sitting down at a table where someone plays as well as you do ... but I'm sure most realize that
GL to you as well...also I would say through the freeroll's out the window, nothing but a major waste of time, especially with a BR like yours.
