Bankroll Management Challenge

I started today with my $1 on PokerStars .01/.02 NLHE and three hands into my session on the BB with A4 clubs - I flop the nut flush. Built it up to $1.45 and then propmtly sunk to .67 - Grinder action then insude and I finished at $1.23 I really noticed that when I was below my $1 that I went beyond Viking mode.. (For those of you not familiar with Viking mode.. its tight - but beyond tight - squeeky tight) - And it really made me pause on a whole bunch of hands. Good luck all.. at this pace we should be able to buy our way into the WSOP in 2089!

First session that I had, I went to a nl .02/.05 with $.40

built it up to $8 now I'm sitting nicely at a .10/.25 with $5

let's see where this takes me

Oh, I'm playing at bugsys, if nobody knew! *g*

The most I've turned $1 into is around $1000 in a couple of days, then of course lost it.

Thanks, black. Depending upon when you were on, you probably saw a lot of folding! I had 3 or 4 hands that I did some chasing in where I shouldn't have. I could have been up more...of course, couldn't we all?

Great start soulite! I was just thinking about when I want to move from the .01/.02 table up to a higher level. The thing is, I can stay here and just wait for the nuts, bet it, and win. These people are such calling stations!!! I sat down at this table, folded the first four or five hands, and then got this hand in the BB...what a flop!!!

Zom asked me last night how I was playing the table. I've been playing extremely tight/aggressive. Only playing premium hands, every once in awhile I may limp a suited connector, etc. But when I hit, no mercy.

In the next hand after the flush I just posted I limped in from the SB and flopped 2 pair. 13 hands later I had the hand below.

I'm also attaching my hand history so far. I started this session with $1 and am up to $3.82. Notice that I've won only twice when I wasn't a blind. Is that a sign that I am playing too tight? I saw the flop 9 times out of the first 32 hands...and there were 8 hands where I was the blind!
