G'day mates Well I too am sick with all the so called needed electronic gizmo's these days. It seems like everyday they come out with a new device which people seem to think is a must have in order for life to be better. I like having 1 desktop and 1 laptop. Personally I think that is more than enough computers for me right now. I used to run my own home network with 4 desktops in order to play Star Craft with my friends over my personal Lan network. We also played Dark Star and a host of other multi player games. Life is much more relaxed now with out maintaining my own network. well be cool mates

Well I figure you deserve an update.
My current bankroll is now $11.83.
I busted out a couple days ago and played some freerolls. Started yesterday with $0.00 and from the three freerolls made like $0.93 USD
I took that money and played on the 0.01/0.02 NL tables until I could do the minimum buy in level for the next level up, and repeated the process until I had the $4.00 minimum needed to play at the 0.05/0.10 NL tables.
Really tried to play my "A" game the entire time and think I did alright going from nothing to $11.83 in less then one day.
Well I hope nobody is too disappointed in me but I have decided NOT to do the $100 reload in November which I had originally planned on doing. I purchased so new clothes for myself instead.

Well nice to see your back at the tables Ronin.
Just try to keep playing your a game with your current bankroll and I m sure you ll bring it towards 100 dollar and more....
Just avoid using your entire bankroll to sit down at a table and try to grind some extra cash at some freerolls... as you did before

What happened to that $80 off BR you had mate? Sorry to hear you lost it but at least you still have a BR so you always have a chance to keep playing. GL!

Well I have not been updating this challenge blog much recently. I do have money on my account but it MUST be manage very strictly. My life has been very stressful over the last few months. I am supposed to be moving into a new apartment on December 1st. The damage deposit and 1st months rent will be a large chunk of my cash. Add the cost of furniture and groceries and other absolute necessity's and money will be very tight. I do not think I will be able to make another deposit within the next 3 months. The bankroll is my poker life line and so in order to stay in the game I must stay smart. later mates. wishing you all the best. be cool

I want to congratulate you on being a consistent player. It is not your fault mate. You are being screwed by the high rake which they conned most people into beleaven is very small. I am sure if you did not need to pay the rake you would be a rich winning player. good luck to you mate. be cool

Well I did have an account on ballpoker from when we played the BRM Xmas Calender games last year. I do not remember what the account information and password is right now. The poker Gods must figure I need help this week or something as you are literally the third person to ask me if I want to do a stalking deal. I have turn down both Mike Duffie and Brian Bourgue as the deal they were offering was not fair in my opinion. I would have to know more about what you had in mind before I could make an informed decision mate. Truly hope I did not just offend you by not just saying yes immediately. Thank you very much for your interest and faith in me as a poker player. Currently I play on PStars, Fulltilt, 888, & soon PKR. best wishes to you mate be cool

I've nothing concrete in mind but to help a man who showed to be helpful with other mobsters (so definitely just unknown people).
I read about your poker bankroll troubles due to imminent changing in your RL and I would be happy to stake you some bucks if you'd like to enjoy poker during this period.
Don't (can't) play on the rooms you mentioned due to italian laws on gambling but I have a small roll on Ballpoker and if you manage to get your credentials back we could do something there.
Conditions I would appreciate is you to strictly observe Bankroll management rules (the one you wrote on the first post are ok to me) and you only play games we agreed to.
Be aware I wont' be offended any will be your answer so feel completely free to decide.

Well looks like a good deal, Ronin.
I could also stake you a bit, if you d like (maybe we could put some money together with other mobsters). The main reason would not to gain money but to help a regular forum member that has proven he has some poker skills. Also I enjoyed following this blog.
I could give you the money with a pay-safecard or another way...

Well I really appreciate the offer. I just won some money playing poker, so I was able to make a small $25 doposit into my PokerStars account. I then made a $5 donation to our Xmas game to be used as part of the prise pool. The bankroll which I now have to work with is $18.74 USD. I will grind it up and start updating this Bankroll Management Blog again daily. Best of luck to us all. May the poker God's bless us all be cool

That is more than enough to turn into something big by super grinding mate. Just don't jump higher up the stakes when you are not rolled for it. Good luck bro.

Well it is time for me to start grinding on the 0.01/0.02 NL tables. Will update later about how my 1st session goes. be cool
Ronin
------------ Update
Well I started grinding and just 40 minutes in I decided to stop playing as I have developed a major migraine headache. I realized my focus was off so I shut down my 6 tables and looked at my new total bankroll amount of $20.68 It might not seem like much to you, but it is a increase in my total, and under the circumstances I am fine with that until later. Already taken some medication for the migraine so I will play again later once my head calms down. best wishes mate be cool
