My Progress Thread

[milesdyson]

I've played online before, but this is my first effort to really build up and have a proper bankroll at every limit I play.

I started at Pacific Poker because they have small limits and allow small deposits. Not to mention the startup bonus.

So I started last Wednesday, 8/4/04.

I deposited $30 and got the $8 bonus. This gives me 190BB at .10-.20.

It is now 8/9 and my bankroll is at $80. I'm still playing .10-.20, so I have 400BB at it. When I get to $120, I plan to play .25-.50, which will be 240BB.

Updates will follow as I make my progress.

I cashed out $97 from Pacific on ~8/14 and put that into Paradise. I already had an acct at Paradise, so I didn't get a bonus there.

Anyway, I was tired of Pacific not allowing multi-tabling and having such horrible software. So now I'm three-tabling .05/.10 at Paradise with 1000BB (lol), but this allows me to go through so many hands compared to Pacific, so I'm actually wagering more.

Today's the 21st and I've brought that $97 up to $115 over the week - not playing an excessive amount either. When so many fish are in the hands, the payoffs on each draw you make are huge. It really adds up.

When I get enough money at Paradise I'll probably go somewhere else with my money because I know I don't want to jump from .05/.10 to .50/1 at Paradise.

Overall - Over 17 days, I'm from $38 to $115.
