I set a goal for myself: Achieve a balance of $100 on both PS and FT by the end of January.
My bankroll basically began in November from freeroll winnings. Since then I have been slowly building it up thru $1 and $2 SNGs on FT. PS I have combined ring games and SNGs. There were periods were I would hover around a particular dollar amount. Some days I would increase by bankroll by $10 or more, only to lose $10 a few days later on a run of bad beats and tiltarific pokering. But I maintianed particular rules: I never played with more than 5% of my bankroll in any one particular thing, and I would quit for the day once I was down to the next dollar level, i.e. if I had $67, I wouldn't drop below $60 for the day. Staking some friends set me back: $25 on FT and $5 on PS total, so technically I hit my goal on FT a while ago.
But last night I hit $100 on FT! I have $73 on PS that I need to bring up in the next five days.
Unfortunately I begin a new job starting Feburary fourth, and my on-line shenanigans will dry up, so I wish you all the best in building your bankrolls and dodging them bad beats!
