Here are the originals:
Building a BR from 20 dollars... the original
Building a bankroll from $35

Also for fun reading:

let's gogogo

GO FOR IT! Good luck!

Let me know when you get to 5NL... 8)

Good Luck!

starting monday im going to try and build br from 30 on ft...

anyone interested in betting a few dollars on who makes the most every month?
i dont want to make a huge bet just something that will make me stay within br, because playing within br is a huge problem of mine

lol.. you'll know i'm there when your ak get 3bet (or was it 4bet).. and you think about folding again

Spend the money for the side bet on a few buy ins... just a thought.

not a bad thought...

but i think the competition to win the bet that will drive me to play more focused

I always think about folding.. 8)

GL Guize, always exciting to see these.

GL, I remember when I first started playing, I would read Gina's thread for inspiration/tips.

I am building a BR from $100 on PokerStars. Actually its more than $100 as I am starting out in 10NL but that is all that was deposited thus far. It's my first real go at trying to be profitable and following proper bankroll management. Started tonight and I am off to a STRONG start!

I even set up a blog over at deucescracked. My username is KrushnKrantz lol. Just a goofy name I registered at DC with and used it when I created my PS account. I will be posting in these forums as I progress through the levels (That's the plan anyway).

My DC blog is at KrushnKrantz Blog <--- Click ;-)

I will be updating after every session, giving a tally, breaking down my hands and posting in these forums to grind up to the small stakes as quickly as possible and eventually higher.

$.25 90 mans which gives you 80 buyins or the $1.10 Dons which is like 19 buyins (I think this is the best way to start to prevent going broke)

Once you have enough buyins for the $1 45s (100buyins) move up

Good thread, will be following it

GLGL, will be checking back for progress. Plz keep us updated

At $349 ... crazy session, had big gains against a monster calling station/spazzer wiped out by big pot coolers on other tables ... and then some.

Oh well, up on the month still!

I'll give this a shot too.
BR = $15 on Pstars.

good luck
curious, what amount of money u aiming for?

I'll never run that good again

4-table 2NL imo

I might be interested, how much did you have in mind? I'm gonna be building up a bankroll from ~$41 probably starting today.


edit: gonna be starting out 16-tabling 2NL FR on FT, lol fun stuff

Im atm building a BR on Party poker started @ $100 now at $153, playing @ nl5 until 250-300 dollars

Also attempting to build a BR, started from $10, up to $20 now. I did it before grinding the $0.25 90's (on pokerstars), was crushing them for 23% ITM and 76% ROI until I went on horrible tilt one day and quit for a few months. Since I came back I've been running incredibly badly, like 50% of my tourneys I'm getting a big stack then busting out with like 15 left (12 get paid) with big hands (flopping 2nd nuts into the nuts, losing AA, KK, getting drawn out on constantly etc). Looking forward to the end of this downswing .



See if you can spot where I went on tilt :P.

Cool, im in... got 21$ on one of my accounts

Play the $1 DONS until you run good again then switch to the $1 45s if your rolled, if not then play the $.25 90 mans until you are rolled for the 45s or if you hit another downswing.

GL

What kind of bankroll do you need for the $1 DON's, I've never played them.
