OK i in the past have proven to make money from poker, not just random spikes, actual long winning periods. But i get too bored of low limits and normally cash out $100 or so and then play crazy aggressive with the rest. Or i just cash the whole lot cos i have a bill to pay lol.
So, given proven ability to win over time im gonna challenge myself to turn my Titan $25 into a decent money. And will keep everyone updated here!
Feel free to join me with whichever site and make this a super thread
I will use 3 main rules of bankroll management which work for me in the past.
1. Never play for more than 5% of my bankroll in anyone cash game (excluding pre-$40 where i will be buying in for $2.
2. Never play a tournament/S&G for more than 2% of my bankroll as it is -EV.
3. If i ever double up at a cash table i will leave when the blinds next reach me.
and a little extra, i bigjezz will refrain from playing when on tilt... it is where i lose most of my money! instead ill go on stars and play stupid there if i need to!
and lastly PLO (omaha) is the devil.. never play for more than 1% of bankroll as swings are insane!
post after this if you want to join, how much you start with your aim etc!

I go a little crazy after a cash out aswell,is there any reason for this? Ill jon your super thread when getting my next no-deposit(looks like its gonna be red kings, gonna check it out first) I hope for 50 starting, 50 pending, I will stay for a year, (normally i just do bonus and run unless getting a good re-load) my aim will be to turn it in to 1K with no re-buys and like yourself this account will be for strict play, this will be the hard bit for me.GL

Very good purpose man, i hope you menage to reach your objetive, but i'm a bit afraid of your choice about the pokerroom... The Ipoker network has something..... let's say... insane. Why don't you try full tilt?

making$100 bucks dont prov e much unfortunately so you cant say u make money from poker.hate to burst your bubble.you gotta doit over a year.cant wait for future post to c how u go.if you live in adelaide i have home game every week come over.c how u play in a real game.playing little limits is the easy bit.having he balls to call larger limits soon sorts your game out.sorry if i being a basturd,i lost $100 already 2 day and bit grumpy.made $145 yesterday so still up but just p...ed off.i hope you kick ass.

Your on par with pokerpaul there, what happend to the bankroll managment, dont blaim tilt bankroll managment had that coverd :}, flush and open ended str8 :}=str8 flush draw :} that could have been a money maker, but when 3 ppl went all in why are you still in that hand(not the str8 flush) and what limits did you play to lose all in a day????? Hope next time you take it serious and make some real money. GL

well i started grinding it out but it just got painful, ill play for 45 minutes and then finally get a hand and get it donked off.
i ended up playing 10/20c tables AKA bad bankroll management and playing omaha... but i kinda didnt care at that point, gonna go back to full tilt or pokerstars XD
