Trials and Tribulations of an Internet Grinder

Well considering that on Friday evening my bankroll was at $1652 and as I type this it stands at $2404, I would say that I had a pretty productive weekend. I played about 45 22's and 33's and a couple of $25 tourneys. I actually made a final table but it was only a 70 person tourney and 7th place only took $84. :)

Assuming that I don't dip back below $2000 (knock on wood) I will play sets of 2 33's and 2 55's until I hit $2650 which is the bankroll milestone that I set for myself to play sets of 55's regularly. At that point I hope to start making some decent money and build a roll for the 109's. I am very proud of myself considering I started at the 11's a mere 2 1/2 months ago and I am already starting to talk about building a roll for the 109's. It is awesome to see a dream take shape as planned. I know that variance is always going to battle me, but as long as I stick to my bankroll guidelines, I feel very confident that I can succeed at the highest levels.

As you all know, Thursday is the big day, the start of my official online poker career. It does help that I have been playing for "supplemental income" over the past year, but as I have previously noted, I want to be at a point where I make a minimum of $5,000/month.
