Default Re: First win

Qualify this by saying win more at the same level. Do not make the mistake of jumping up to the $50+ levels unless you already play them and can stand the swings. I'm the voice of experience on this one the first 3 times I cashed for more than 1k I gave half of it back with in a week playing over my head.

Bankroll management in these situations has traditionally been the weakest part of my game. The last 4 or 5 times I've cashed that much I've made it a point to walk away from the PC immediately after and to avoid any celebratory tilting. Slow and steady wins the bankroll race as well as the multis. There is nothing worse than spending 5 hours to win $1300 and to then decide you are good enough for that $215 SNG starting up, showing ok in but just out of the money so you try another, and another... You get the idea.

Congrats on the win my friend, sorry for the rant.
