Hey everyone, I've been playing poker for about a year with no bankroll management at all, I've basically just played for fun, playing 3/6 stud on a $100 bankroll or some random .50/$1 triple draw. No more!

My current goal is to just play 500 18-90 person SNGs focusing mostly on the 45 player turbos and the 50 player 50 billion hand promotion SNGs. I am going to be playing 4 tables at a time until I get a more comfortable bankroll. There is no real profit goal aside from not going bust

In 287 games (158 vpps) I will unlock my $50 stellar reward bonus which should give me a nice boost!

My current bankroll is $21.61, I'll be posting an update every night and a graph every 100 games!

Wish me luck!

Amateur player here thinking of doing the same !

Have a goal of about 200 SNG tourneys or 4 tourneys a night for about 120~ to see if I'm in the green at the end.

Going to start playing in a few minutes, I decided that at $50 I'm going to add 2 more tables to 6 and probably going to add 2 tables every $20 until 12 tables. Also am going to be trying to enter the $1.10 Lambo Qualifier as one of my tables though not counting towards the 500 SNG obviously.

He had a sick feeling that if he folded I would turn over the 72, couldn't handle the pain.

This is a fine call right? Getting 3-1 on a call 5 players left

ICM fold

I didn't really feel like playing much, but had pretty good result. I ended up cashing in the lambo qualifier (sadly not top 27) and played 4 sngs. Adding a current goal of playing 5 lambo qualifiers and hopefully qualifying. They seem soft! I also may play more lambo qualifiers if I don't end up qualifying but I'll take it as it goes

Also taking a look at the SNG Wiz trial, looks pretty neat although I'll have to read some FAQs to figure out how to use it!

I'm not too sure how much I like the 50 Billion SNGs, I think I'm going to go in favor of the 45 person turbos with maybe 1 per set of the 50 player non turbos so I can qualify for the prize pool. On the plus side I just hit over $50 so I'm going to add 2 more tables!

Woke up, gonna get in some games hopefully it goes better than yesterday!

Going back down to 4 table since I went under $50, so I'm going to drop the 50 Billion SNGs until I get back to 6 tables and play 1.
