Cool thread. I came in late but this fits with what I think about a lot when I'm thinking about poker.

Background:

This is my fourth go around with online poker. I played Stud at Paradise when it first opened. Won a bunch cashed out, bought patio furniture.

Started again, played stud and a bit of hold'em. Cashed out, bought car stereo (lots of car stereo).

Started again, played hold'em, cashed out, bought home theater.

Each time, I've started with a minimum buy in and done well.

Currently: Bought in to Party again with $50 and no bonus (moron) and have run that up to a respectable 1/2 bankroll (currently $1K) by playing pretty well and bonus whoring extensively.

Goals:

To not get scared and cash it all out.

To build the bankroll so I can make the jump to 2/4.

To stay at 1/2 and even maybe drop back down to 0.5/1 while working on my game.

To plug some leaks so the jump to the next level is appropriate to my skill level.

To learn NL. Or not.
