MrJay88's Bankroll Building Thread

Hey Guys

I started playing poker seriously at the start of october after completing brokerstars coaching course.

I started with a 50 dolla bankroll and grinded up to $215. Once I reach $255 I will start playing the 10s and hopeefully build from there.

Here is a link to my introductory post with graphs etc

http://tagpoker.myfastforum.org/about1606.html


My poker goals:

- reach the 10s by the end of this month
- reach 600 dollas before the new year
- maintain 10%+ roi
- learn how to multi table
- become a good poker player.

I'll be updating this thread every Sunday (excluding the coming Sunday) and I'll also try to include any interesting hands or new concepts I've learnt.

Hey Guys,
So its the end of week one and my first update. I managed to move up to the 10 dollar games and found very little difference from the 5 dollar ones. I played 50 games this week and my target is 70+ games a week.


Current BR: $360



I’ve been on a heater this week and one thing that has really helped my peformance is tilt management. In the past i’ve set myself goals of making ‘XXX’ amount of profit in a day or playing 20+ games in a day when one tabling. I was putting myself under unecessary pressure and would end up tilting away the days profit on my occasions.
One tool I found useful for helping tilt is the ‘self exclusion’ function on full tilt. You can self ban yourself for a period of time ranging from 12 hours to 6 months. If I ever felt like I was tilted or not playing at my best I would ban myself for 12 hours and come back with a fresh mind the next day.
