Still not enough time

Hey there,

unfortunately I'm still very busy with my job right now so I got to poker only about half an hour a day last week. However that didn't stop me from upping it to a good 62.42$.

I'll keep the weekly updates until I things have cooled down a bit.

Total winnings for last week:

22.1$

Not much time right now

Hi there again!

I don't have enough time to comment on every session so I will probably keep posting half-weekly updates until things have settled down again. Over the past week things have gone rather well and I pushed my bankroll up to 40.32$, which is good for the little time I have to play every day.

Total winnings for last week:

20.88$

Expect more in the near future :D

Only small time poker today

Didn't have much time to play today - less than an hour. Went to sit down at the 5/10 tables again and stood up with 2.13$ more in my pocket.

Cash tables: 2.13$

Getting tired of small steps - proceeding with leaps

Today was a day where I finally found the time to play poker for 3 consecutive hours. After getting sucked out HORRIBLY at a freeroll tourney, I decided to take a shot at the 5c/10c tables. The reason behind this is that bankroll management at stakes so small will protect you from downswings, however it will limit your progress heavily since going for 5/10 you should be at least at 50$ and it would take forever grinding it out at the micro stakes. Thus I took half of my bankroll (3$) and played one table shortstack - to say the least it went exceptionally well and I managed to leave the table with around 14$! I'm fully aware that with only one bad beat I could've halfed my bankroll. Since I want to get the max out of this in a year though, time is a big factor so the risk I took is justified I think. I will continue to take a shot once or twice per week until I reach 50$ and continue with a normal, more conservative bankroll management.

Total winnings today:

Cash tables: 9.96$

Taking small steps

I didn't get to play much today, however I managed to get my mini bankroll up to 7.35$ at the 1c/2c NL tables at Pacific Poker.

Cash tables: 0.80$

Getting into gear

I've set off today, trying a 1000$ freeroll with 2500 participants and a 500$ freeroll with 185 participants at Pacific Poker.

The 1000$ freeroll got me nothing as I got sucked out early in the tournament, but I took a nice 14th place at the 500$ freeroll, which yielded 5$ and got me off to a nice start. I sat down at the 1c/2c NL tables and made it grow to 6.55$. After playing for roughly 5 hours (about 4.8 hours of that were for the tournaments) I think I'm done for today - let's see if I can crack the 10$ mark tomorrow.

Cash tables: 1.55$
