A small milestone: I have turned $2 into $300.

The first post of 2009 brings good news, I just ended a session on PokerStars and my bankroll has surpassed $300 for the first time.  To many of my readers this is small potatos, but for me it’s a big deal, considering it’s been over a year now since I won $2.00 in a freeroll and I have been grinding my way to $301.11 ever since.  I have yet to deposit any of my own money and that has always been the original goal, which is why I take bankroll management so seriously and also why I might be a bit conservative when moving up limits.  The best part about this minor milestone is this is just the beginning of what I hope to be a long but successful poker journey.  So happy new year to everyone and may we all have a healthy and prosperous 2009.  Now I’m off to have a beer, watch some football and the Winter Classic.  By the way, don’t forget about the Twitter Poker Tour event tonight on PokerStars at 9:00 PM ET, hope to see you there.

    Congrats! I guess it wouldn’t make for very good reading if I wrote a blog post “I have turned $500 into $50″, would it?

    @ pkrplyr, I think thats what most of my posts read like :-)

    @ jim, Honestly m8, thats a real good achievement. I know that you’ve been struggling to get over the $300 “hump”. Keep going, the skys the limit.

    right back to breaking even. yawn!

    Congrats with you great result! That kind of discipline (and respect for your bankroll) will get you far.
    If I were you I would write down the most important lessons you have learned so far and keep them on a piece of paper close to your computer. When you become a high roller you can look back on your lessons learned to keep both feet solidly planted in the ground.

    Good going on this! Keep up the good work. I am in the same rut I hope you have just come out of. I am just hovering in the same spot which is preventing me from moving up a limit. Keep on grinding!
