I finally have managed to get some bankroll management rules in place, and adhere to them for once.

Normally I have such a hard time playing within my means, I generally try to play stakes that are a stretch on my bankroll, or just get tilted and play for stakes that can cripple my bankroll.

After I recently lost most of my roll from various tiltings (actually down to just 1 buy in), I finally decided to stick to my rules and make a come back. It's been a success, ...

A very good month in all, Ive had much better months but will happily accept this months earnings. I have made a huge decision to remain at $50nl.

I was making between $1000 - $1200 every two weeks at a computer company, and I would listen to Ace on the river by Barry Greenstein (audio book) on my ipod while working. I probably listened to it 10 times and I couldn't take it anymore. I finally said fuck it! I can do it to. So I quit and am now trying to make it playing poker. I have definitley had some major swings. I started out playing 25 50 cent cash games. I read Harrington on cash games ...
