    Online Bankroll Part 4- Surge to a Grand

    Hey everyone how has play been for everyone? lately on Cake Poker it has gone well last time I left I was at 683. Now I am currently pushing a grand right now sitting at 950 and feeling good about my play. I am also feeling comfortable about playing multi table sessions, and not be intimidated and unfocused. I am hoping the next time I am writing on here, I will be over a grand.

    It takes time to grind away on multi table sessions. The games that I am playing so far I break it down some sessions will be 4 table 10/20 cent. Others will be 2 tables of 25/50cent also, sometimes I will splurge and play single table 1/2 and just play focused and confident but not feel intimidated.

    I know it is outside of my bankroll but I have learned "You can't win what you don't put in the middle" if your willing to take a risk, when your a good player then the goals that you set to play can be easier to obtain. I don't want to give the wrong impression about my play I really do play discipline and patient and I am really excited to keep up the good work just as long as I stick to how I play. If your interested I am up for conversation via email about anything poker. If your on the site and your not familiar with me just contact Jason and he will talk to me about it. Take care and may all your pots be monster.

    • Yes I read the Ferguson article and it makes sense so I am not going to play 10/20 cent anymore. Plus I will be due about 60+ in rake back this month so that will be nice I will keep u posted with my next post by this weekend most likely.

    • Hey man, did you read the links I posted in the comments of your last blog? Bankroll management is a must if you are really trying to make a living off of poker. It's not fun, and I know you are partially doing this for fun, but you have to respect the variance in poker.

      That said, I'm glad you are doing well. With a $1000 bankroll, you should be able to buy in to the $50 games without a problem. Just be careful... If you have a losing session, it is not a good idea to "try and make it up" at a higher limit. Trust me :D
