You're a Bunch of Factors

Started Playing online in 2006
Playing mainly freerolls i built up money in two seperate poker sites.
One of these sites was small and changed to euro $ so the decision was made to close this account and tranfer money to the larger poker site to round up to $100 in January 2008.

A Management Plan was designed
Tournaments 2% of bank
Sit & Goes 3% of bank

Cash Games 5% of Bank
BUT
No Limit & Pot Limit 1% of buy in BB
Fixed Limit 5% of buy in BB
(eg; $1000 balance = $50 buy in at 0.25/0.50 table)

3 Losses STOP for the day

A side bet was struck with the nephew of who can win the most and it was on

So i stuck to the plan religiously
Playing Tournaments and Sit & Goes Only
I picked up small money with the occasional win and slowly increased my Bank. A couple of nice wins made the Bank Balance rise suddenly
I stuck to the Management Plan especially with Tournaments.
With Sit & Goes i could have played in higher money games but the plan was to rise through the money stages and only increasing when a profit was gained after 20 games in each level

1 Year later and the Bank Balance stands at $1400
Im pretty happy with that especially as it has happenened without 1c of my money.

NOTE - The nephew lasted 2 weeks

Would be interesting to see others try similar

i comend your disipline,

keep it up, and keep us informed.

Top stuff there Goose.

Great example of bankroll management and how sticking to it can prove very beneficial.

Looks like you had good discipline, something I don't have. Well done mate.

My mate's turned $10 free from a site into about $400 in 3-4 months. He's well on his way.

PS - This is the 40,000th post YAY FOR ME!
