Okay, so a kind of long story here. I'll get into it later. I messed up, my account was at $902 briefly I thought I could finish and get to $1000 before vegas, but didn't manage to do it... Had I gotten redeposit bonuses, and rakeback, I would have. that's pretty close, but before I left I played a few cash games and got busted down to $800 before climbing to $850. Well when I had a trip to vegas, I entered a $60 tournement which is too much for my rules, but it's entertainment value, and was the best tournement based on the blind structure that could be had for under $100. So I ended up winning $380 or $320 profit on a $60 buy in, which technically put me over the $1000 mark.
I took home $500 winnings overall from Vegas.
Now what? I'm in the gambling mood, so I get home and I start playing blackjack on my bodog account until I get knocked down to $200, then I sit in with $50 in cash games until I go bust.
Just goes to show you that if you break your rules, your rules can break you.
I got a lot more coming and a more in depth story of how I did well at the tournement in vegas...
and If you thought I was done and gone and out of the world I got news for you...
I'm back!
Due to the attention this site has gotten (aparently I wasn't aware since no one comments), a few people signed up to fulltilt after following the link and used bonus code "secretbonus" aside from them getting a cool bonus I took back 25% of the rake. So I decide to take $50 of the winnings and play a few cash games. Turns out the games are super soft, allowing me to just play 8 games at once and just wait for hands. Well 3 days later and my account is up to $400.
I've modified my bankroll requirements slightly
as long as I'm winning consistantly I sit down with up to 7% but somewhere between 5-7% instead of 5%. I also have 20% of my games between 7% and 15% where I'm "taking a shot" and to counter that, I have 20% of my games below 5% of my total bankroll. It has been very effective, as I can sit in and go on a run and win with 12% of my bankroll and double that up, increasing my stack size 12%. Since I leave immediately after a rotation, there's less varience then someone who continues to play, and plus I'm a bigger winner since the blinds are larger compared to the minimum stack then a max stack at a lower table. I also play only premium hands at the higher table to protect my stack. I went on a horrible run of cards, losing to aces 3 times, kings twice, and tens against KQ and AK against KQ, but because I only had 20% of my games that I was playing in higher stakes and because I had an average of only about 7% of my bankroll at risk per game, I was able to stay in the game. And because the games are so friggen juicy, I was able to bounce back that very same day. My bankroll went from 300 down to 200 and back to 280 again, and then up to $400 the next day.
It's been working and I intend on getting to $1000 within a month if this continues.
I Have a lot in store for you, I'm going to do a couple podcasts this weekend to get you all caught up on what's been going on.
This affiliate stuff works as an EXCELLENT bankroll builder.
I have some great news on a new challenge that I will have as soon as I hit zero to a thousand.
I'm off to play at fulltilt and work on some surprises I have in store!
