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?

Easycure- Haha, I wouldn’t go that far, yet. I like the thought though.
pkrplyer- Thanks! It could be a good read, if you have a way with words.
@ 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.

s1nnah and Joe – Thank you both!
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.

Nice job sir. I can quickly turn $200 into $0 and then magically have it appear again via deposit! wait, i’m doing it wrong. Congrats to you sir!

Thanks man! Haha, yep you’re doing it wrong.
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!

Good point, I don’t want to know. It’s been fun though so time still well spent.
