My Bankroll Journal

[s810car]

(I am posting this in Off Topic instead of Cash & Tournament because my plans do NOT follow proper bankroll management, please leave thread in Off Topic - PLEASE do not follow these guidelines I will be using, this is NOT proper bankroll management by ANY means)

The past two days have made me feel the need to start journaling my progress in building a positive income flow from my poker ventures. Between these two days, I have cashed over a thousand in my games. I would subsequently between tilted play/degenning/casino run play, lose the ENTIRE amount I gained. Time to start making some guidelines I will have to stick to that tend to my strengths (frequent mtt cashing and hit n run style profit in ring) while forbidding my weaknesses (full rolling in ring or casino and chasing losses until I lost it all)

I realize I cannot set a daily goal of cashing as I continue to play later even after my main session is done, so going to just set bankroll limits (again not good management, but tends to my strengths, possible deposits will come at least in the beginning), restrict my casino use (not blocking but EXTREME control), and limits on ring use after my sessions

So here's what I'm committing to:
MTT sessions: until I get back over $200, it'lll mostly be daily full rolling into my games. I feel I'm consistent enough in my cash placings that this will not bust me, it's not happened yet from just mtts. Once past that point i'll probably set no more then $150 in buyins a night max, until I find the right level to lock it at. I can rebuy into games as needed except for $20+ buyin games, no rebuy after 1st shot (might make exception fot 12.5k game but only 1 retry max on that).

I'm going to start documenting cashing in here rather then chat, I may mention a high stake game when at final 2 tables, but when I get on a roll and posting in chat all my status on games, its both distracting and gets me over amped, which I think starts my descent into degen

Cash games, ah my weakness lately lol. until my roll is $500+, no more 10/25 or higher nlo8, 50/1 or higher plo8, or 3/6 higher flo8 (if i do play nlhe, same limit) Until then i have to get my roll back at 150+ to do a cash session of pl08 or nlo8, allowing 25 that night at 10/25 pl or 05/10 nl and lowers. If i bust the 25 i can retry ONCE only, and when recovered have to stop and put recovered back b4 continuing ring. If i bust retry done in cash for night, until i get roll back up as well. for 2/4 or 1/2 fl, its sit with $100 or $50, no retry allowed, and need min of $200 for 1/2 and $300 for 2/4. Goal is to try to double, bank the original amount, then freeroll on ring in each instance. Super Micros (02/05 or less) is exempt from rules

Casino Rules: I am going to allow myself ONE entering a week, with 5% of roll (min $10 max $100), to play w/e i want at time. goal is to double (if 50+ brought in) or triple (10-50 brought in) then withdraw 1/2 and freeroll for long as i want to.

I'll post my current status next followed by daily journal, yes this is tl;dr but mostly for me anyways so

Current Roll: $117.34
Now that the roll is getting a little safer (not much) I want to state just because I'm updating roll here, does NOT mean I'm starting loaning or staking again soon. I have 2 stakes I'm pending on doing, those 2 know who they are, besides that and the one running I am NOT doing any stakes until I'm stable in my view, don't even ask. Loans as well, if you don't know me, do not ask for a loan, and for those who do know me, expect me to most likely reject it until I'm stable
