Doubt anyone is still reading this thread, but I like having it for myself to track my progress. Been on a major heater the last month. I've had more time than I ever expected to have to put into poker. I'm also broke off my ass and would like to finally have just a little bit of extra money from poker. I'm slowly creeping in that direction.

A couple of goals have changed for me.

1. Any cashouts will now be put towards building a live BR where I follow the same rules as I do online. I will need roughly $900 saved up to start playing the cheapest local tournaments.

2. Because of Carbon's new cashout policy of 1 free check a year, I will try to build my BR enough over the next year to make a max withdrawal of $2500. I know it's only a 3% fee for additional checks, but I believe poker is about building small edges. If I don't hit that mark, I will withdraw however close I am next September as a birthday present to myself =) (if Carbon doesn't change their policies again).

So I did just deposit a $50 check from Bovada today. That will be the start of my live BR!

SWC - 96
Bovada - $279
Carbon - $365
