Category: Bankroll Update
A little about me for my new blog home. Back in Jan 08 I joined Cardrunners, learned a ton and grew exponetially. I really never grasped 6 max so I remain a Full Ring player. Later in 08 I made Supernova on Stars. Atleast 3 times I ran my minimal bankroll to over 3,000 and […]
Good Things Happening It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted, but things have been quite busy both poker-wise and life-wise. Work has been busy and been preparing for Christmas with shopping and getting work done before some time off. However, I have some good news. The last few days have nearly brought my bankroll […]
Lack of Discipline Well, things started well, gaining a $10 profit on the first of the month. However, I’ve lost $50 since then. It was a combination of factors, including playing a little too high, going on tilt a little bit, and in general not playing great, although I have hit a couple bad beats […]

Thanksgiving I have a couple poker-related things to be thankful for today. First, I went deep in a freeroll tournament on PokerStars to get a little money to get going again after going broke on that site a while ago (I’ve been playing on Full Tilt since). It was a Turbo MTT, so a lot […]
Recovery As mentioned previously, I have recently crippled my bankroll because of a downward spiral. Right now, I’m grinding out low stakes 1 table SnG’s and Freerolls to try to build back up. I am having some success, winning 2 out of the last 3 SnG’s I’ve played. I have a few practices that have […]
Identifying Dangerous Patterns I have noticed for me that psychological factors may be keeping me from winning than technical factors. There is much to learn of course technically, such as hand reading, bet sizing, etc. but the psychological factors and mindset I believe are the main reason my bankroll is in the red. Fortunately, I’ve […]
An Introduction One of my favorite motivational speakers says you need to face reality before you can make changes. Positive thinking can only get you so far unless you face reality. So my reality is that I’m a losing player! Of course, I’m trying to change this. I study my game. I read forums and […]
Joined this site last night to discuss my ongoing target. I plan to emulate that of Chris Jesus Ferguaon. However unlike him i have started with $50. at the moment i am sitting at 280. I Started top build my bankroll by playing 6 handed $3.4 SNGs on stars and grinded my way to $200 […]
