Allright... here's where I am...
1st buyin for $1... .02/.04L at PS... lasted an hour and left with .33. Damn that sucked.
Decided to try one of the $1 45 Man SNG's at PS. Cashed in 3rd for $7.

Current bankroll, $7.13 with $3 behind it.

PokerStars Tournament #33061605, No Limit Hold'em
Buy-In: $1.00/$0.20
45 players
Total Prize Pool: $45.00
Tournament started - 2006/10/03 - 22:16:56 (ET)

Dear Blackinks,

You finished the tournament in 3rd place.
A $7.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

Sorry about that O8 game, BTW.

SO I was in that O8 PL game with Zom-got a nice A23Q club/spade hand.
Locked the nut low at the turn, and got the straight all in when the spade came and my 3 hi flush scooped. Out plus 82 cents.
Bankroll = $8.87

Well I haven't played nearly as much as I thought I would, had to reload once but after a decent no limit hold'em session today I made back that reload I had to do and am up a paltry .40 cents for the challenge so far. I forgot how many chasers there are in the really small ring games.

Another bump up... 3 $1.20 SNG's on PS (2 holdem, 1 omaha hi/lo)... 2 busts and a second place for $10. Bankroll is now $13.53 w/ 3 rebuys still left.

Currently at a standstill..go to log onto Poker Ocean today, only to find the message that they are currently not accepting real money bets from my juristiction

Now I gotta find a site where I can actually work with $5.53..and I'd prefer something other than pokerstars - any suggestions?

Edit: 2 rebuys left

You could leave your $5 and try a no deposit bonus site for the bankroll challenge. I believe there are few sites you can sign up through the THF that currently offer cash for sign ups: Victor Chandler, Dream Poker, i4poker, Pitbull, and another couple. Not sure about up to date USA policies with these sites though.

Give me a shout if you need sign up codes.

Been a while since anybody added to this thread so I thought I'd mention my bankroll challenge. I have mentioned it in another thread so sorry to bore anybody again who's already read it.

I've only recently deposited into Poker Stars for the first time, to the tune of $10. I'm attempting a Chris Ferguson style attempt to see how far I can grow this bankroll. Following the strict 5% buy in and moving though levels accordingly, either up or down levels depending on success.

So far things have been pretty easy, I never once dropped below my intial $10 deposit, and have grinded up to $22.24.

Sitting at 1/2c NL tables, and only able to buy in for a $1 by the 5% rule. Having played at micro limits on other smaller sites, Poker Stars hosts some of the worst players I've come across and very easy to exploit.

I'll post updates every so often.

Sounds like a good journal to me. You will get approved very soon and you can start a journal if you want. I think it will be a good read.
