   This post is the first of my continuing series about trying to establish my bankroll. I will slowly post all the past sessions that I took notes on. I had been working on my bank roll in small cash games and a few visits to my local casinos in La Center for a couple months previous to this.

   I was in town on vacation for 3 days. I got off the Bart after some confusion about getting picked up but Jason came through. Jason and I arrived at the casino - a very big room, bigger than I expected. The game of choice was 1-1-2 NL with the button paying a dollar. I sat down and it turns out a very loose player is to my left so it seemed like a good table to be at.

   The first hand I picked up was under the gun, I made it 16 to go and got three callers - didn't like that too much, but it happens. The flop was rainbow, the blinds check, I bet out 15 and take the pot.

   In the cutoff position I pickup with two limpers before me I limped in with the button and the blinds followed. The flop came , it was a decent flop but I had to be careful here. Everyone checks to me and I bet out 18 and got one caller. The turn is the - GREAT CARD - I bet out 28 and was called. The river was a , I bet out 40 he calls and my two-pair held.

   After this I tighten up - Missed a nut flush draw and folded most of my hands. I picked up Aces and didn't make much. I picked up and flopped a set but with minimal action, A little frustrating but still up just over 100 which is fine.

   Then, towards my last few hands I picked up in middle position. I limped with five-way action - flop is . One guy bets out 10, I raise to 24 and he calls. The turn is an so I bet out 26 and he calls. The river is the - WORST CARD IN THE DECK - he checks I check and he ended up making a flush on the river.

   So overall a good session - cashed out up 41 bucks (better than losing). The bankroll is up to 950 now, but I'm still looking for that big win. I'll post about another session from the same week when I get a chance. Thanks for reading!
