im having fun over at sky poker and thought i'd share with you mobsters
on jan 1st my bankroll as a shocking £3.12 from a deposit of £5
so i gave up on the cash games after tilting heavy and switched to micro stake double your money sit n go's 30p buy-ins un till my bonus money came through
so i upped my buy-ins for the sit'n'gos for the next 6 days increasing the buy in's as they days progressed (if i was profitable the day before if i wasn't then i'd move down a level in buy ins)
i then decided to have a smash at their weekly £15k bounty hunter tournament (direct buy in for £33 or satellites from £2.80 - £4.60) i jumped into a £2.80 frenzy satellite with rebuys for the first 20 mins and played it as strategically as i could and rebought 3 times and made the final table with a stack of 12k with only 1 other person who could ruin me but he was a few seats away so he didn't blind me out
i finished just inside the money and won £39.50 and £85.75 in head prizes so i wasn't too upset that my pocket kings got murdered by pocket jacks
i was going to set myself some goals this month but couldn't decided so i just put on my calendar on january 31st '2000 points?' im already up to 2649 already this month so i gotta set my goals a little higher for feb
i started to tilt yesterday so i decided to have a break from poker and hit their casino i sat down at a game called count down and staked 20p on 10 lines and won £55 so i clicked the x straight away and went to bed all happy
all in all a good month so far with a deposit of £5 i've cashed out £150 and my bankroll is still well over the £100 mark im living proof you can make a bankroll with $10

It's always fun to build a roll from nothing or next to nothing, and even though it doesn't take much in the way of variance to kill that small roll, it CAN be done. Congratulations and keep it going elf! Also keep letting us know your progress - I always encourage the bloggers here at BRM.

Its not just in poker ur having a good phase as it seems. that kind of "multi-gambling" usually means trouble but if its paying out there's no reason to now stop a successful strategy . Just dont tilt if things start to turn against u and make a run for it with ur profits in ur pocket . Best of luck m8

Enjoyed reading your Blog as I do all the Mobsters Blogs. Very nice to see someone winning playing the multi-gaming / challenges that come with it. I'm actually doing well at Carbon with my initial $20 deposit and have nearly tripled up. Not bad considering my 12 game losing streak last weekend. Always builds my confindence to see other small deposits make the climb to a nice BR. Continued Good Luck to you and all!
