So April 2014 has come and gone, as well as $2,200 in deposit. I've lost them mostly due to my bad BRM and donking them on BLACKJACK. it is my hope that with my $50 deposit on BOVADA today I can turn things around. My plan is to play mainly SNG double and triple UPS following the above guide lines.
BUYINS
$3.30: $50.00 - $99.99
$5.50: $100.00 - $149.99
$5.50 - $8.80: $150.00 - $199.99
$11.00: $200.00 - $299.99
$11.00 - $15.40: $300.00 - $500.00
It is my hope to reach my goal of $500.00 by the end of the month. If I am lucky and fortunate enough to reach my goal I will re-evaluate and go from there. My hope is that this thread will act as my journal and keep me grounded and stop me from playing outside my BRM guideline stated above.
I am open to constructive criticisms so feel free to post opinions and recommendations.

Good Luck, these threads pop up often and most people don't follow through with them but you seem to have a good realistic goal. I look forward to following it.

best of luck. 2200dep? sorry to hear that. if its one thing i learned from poker is that I wish i had someone there to tell me what to do when i first started. you can get yourself into real trouble on a simple idea of wanting to make money on a game .. Blackjack is something i really dont like playing along with slots. If it helps, maybe focus on how you lost by breaking down every single action and step you took. I have a hard time as well with tilt but I started realizing that feelling really crappy never helps and if i wanted to blame someone, i couldnt. Because if you believe in bad luck, then truth is there is good luck involve and in poker we create our own luck. Poker is like KAIZEN = continous improvement. I think mental fitness and how you identify yourself as a player really matters when you apply your time online. i stopped for a whole month in march, and its made realize that life has alot to offer and you really just gotta give yourself that time to remain calm even when your losing or winning. my suggestion before you go back with $50.00. ask yourself how your gonna feel before you put that money in, if you cant handle the truth of knowing it can be taken away, then gamble that 50.00 without any limits. learn to accept that losing is part of winning. fuck it, save it and study for a big tournament and study everything and anything you can possible about who you are and what your good at doing and how its done when your playing your greatest. if you can play your greatest when there isn't so much at steak, imagine what that 50.00 can do when your ready . The truth to online poker is that its a damn business, how you move your money and how you take it . its a business...a fuckin business. best of luck and if you decide to go with your goal, thats fuckin awesome . just keep sharp and don't let up.

1stttttttt.jpg before this i had $0.00 on my bovada. i played a RTR freeroll won 40.00. Took a chance on MTT . i actually made 0.00 - almost $1k in 2 days. so 50.00 . You got it.
btw, i played those tourneys and i cashed it out right away. a part of me is still wondering how i did, because now Bovada is fuckin me all over. But if i had a bankroll the next time, id do evertyhing the right way.

1. Yes $2,200... to be honest that's really nothing. I mean its a lot of money but I have degen a 6 figure amount in Asia gambling stupidly.
2. Money can be won in BJ but you have to be selective of the tables like you do with poker. offcourse this applies only on brick and mortar casinos. Online BJ it seems the house always makes some crazy hand to bet you everytime.
3. I do understand that to be a winner in Poker a person have to treat it like a job/business and practicing good BRM. Even the greatest player can go broke in one hand if he puts all his net wort on the table. In the flip side a medicore player (me) can win as long as I only put a small percentage each time on the table.
4. I am for sure going to try my hardest to stick with this goal of mine and see it goes. it is my hope that if im obligated to post my daily results online I would have better self control. I know that my profit would be slow coming doing this way but I am also sure that my ruin would be much slower if at all.
