Current Roll: $6.13
After making and losing several hundred dollars in online poker over the past year, I have decided to attempt a legitimate bankroll challenge starting at $0.00. I will be playing on the Merge network with the Carbon Poker skin. My number one problem in attempting to build a roll in the past has been playing outside of my limits, primarily taking shots at tournaments I have no business playing in. I also have a major problem with tilting, most notably in cash games. Therefore for this challenge I will be playing primarily 10 man SNG's including the $0.60 and $1.10. I realize that playing the Dollar Dazzlers with only $2.40 in a roll is extremely risky, but sometimes you got to risk it for the biscuit.
After starting my challenge last night I managed a quick start, binking 5th in the PokerOwned freeroll for $2.40. Following this pickup I felt good and contrary to good bankroll management I entered into two Dollar Dazzlers. Sadly took a bad beat and lost the first one, but got extremely lucky with a blessing from the card Gods and managed to take down 1st place in the second SNG for a smooth $5.00. Bringing my total to just over $6.00
Overall I am pretty happy with my performance so far in my challenge and I will continue to update with my progress. I also hope to plan some hand histories for comments/suggestions once I figure out how to post hands from Carbon. See ya on the tables

BurntBud's Bankroll Challenge
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.
