Winning at Small Stakes Hold 'em

I've been playing Texas Hold 'em at Sporting Bet for two weeks now. I started with a $100 deposit and have been playing $.25/$.50 up to $1/$2 limit poker tables. Slansky's book has really made a difference in my skill level (I'm half way through it), although as mentioned before, this is an extremely loose site overall.

Since I can't use Poker Tracker on Sporting Bet's Poker site, I'll have to approximate some of the stats. After the first 100 hands, my bankroll was up to $120. Adding the first $30 bonus that released brought it up to $150. Once I reached the $175 mark, I started playing some of the higher limit tables.

The bankroll's currently up to $233, but I don't know how many hands I've played. The 500 hand bonus is still in my account, so when it clears, I'll get an additional $70. In the next update I'll give some examples of the type of play you can expect at Sporting Bet. I love it!

My only complaint about the site is that it's sometimes hard to find a table at the limits I want with an opening. I can usually find a no-limit table, but Slansky recommends that you stick to limit tables to maximize profit. I think I'll continue to follow his recommendations.
