My First Bankroll Thread

Right, this could go either way, but I'd like somewhere to report my progress, mainly so I can easily keep up with it myself, keeping a spreadsheet at the same time, but will be fun for me to write about how things have been going as well.

This my first proper attempt at building a bankroll, I'm starting with $100 on stars and working my way up. I won't move up until I have 30bb's and will start out on the $3.50 sng's.
If I drop below $70 I will drop down to $1.50.
I will move up to $7 when I have $210

I'll leave it there for now.

I'm going to set some goals for myself:
To play at the very least 10 games per day.
If one day, I am unable to play 10 games (most likely with other commitments) I will ensure that I am making up for those and playing at least 300 games per month in total.

A goal to make progress in $3.50's, improve leaks in my game and build on my knowledge of the heads up game.

For this purpose, as long as university commitment's aren't getting in the way I will set a goal to study heads up, be it videos, articles, forum posts, or books, for at least half an hour a day. Totalling 3.5 hours per week. Perhaps more on weeks where university work load is light.

My sharkscope graph is going to be slightly off as I've been playing for the past week or so but we'll start fresh here with the initial $100.

I shalln't be getting to involved in this just yet as I want to spend more time studying the material I have at the moment but I wanted this thread here ready Smile

Just a little update, I wasn't happy with the $100 bankroll, I played a few $3.50's a bit before I should have and knocked off some of the bankroll. Revised a little more, worked a little harder and I was beating $1.50's again. I've had another crack at $3.50's and they've been going pretty well but don't feel overly comfortable playing them with the lower bankroll so I've deposited a little extra so that I can feel more comfortable playing them, rather than playing the $1.50's which I find really dull/unrewarding. So I'm sitting on a bankroll of $153 and my total deposits lie around $191 (One benefit of this is that I've now got an even bigger bonus rolling in as I play). So I'm down $37 but grinding away at the $3.50 and I shall be altering when I will be moving up to $7.

So that I feel more comfortable playing them I'll give myself a requirement of $245 (35BB) as I find that how comfortable I feel at a level makes a big difference.

Wasn't going to mention this whole thing, but wanted my first bankroll thread to be an honest one.

Pretty good day today, up a decent amount.

Now only in the negative $17.64 from the $37 I was down. So made $20.

Hopefully I'll keep that up, graph is starting to have a positive trend to it which I like looking at haha Smile

Another decent day considering I've spent the day battling a hangover and haven't played too many games.

Now down 0.5c only. So made about $17 today.

Looking into it further it seems I may have received a $10 bonus which is why I've made that much on a day I haven't got much volume in hah.
