Brian,

I just noticed on your blog you have your "starting" and "current" balances. It seems that you restart this every time you bust out and put a another $50-$100 in somewhere.

I would suggest that if you really want to get a picture of how you are doing as a player that you pick a start date and from then on keep a running total (which may be negative) with the intention of attempting to be a winning player instead of just not trying to bust out your $50 in a matter of 2-3 days.

I realize from your posts in the past that you are, IMO, a recreational player in that you seem to want to play .50/1.00 or $10-$25 NL even if that is more than the bankroll that you "currently" have alotted to poker. My opinion is that with that mindset you will almost always lose at some point even if you get up $100's, you will keep playing until you lose it (going up in limits, etc). Then you can take a break and start clean with a new $50. This could be fun for you and if it is go for it.

Not sure if this will help you personally in the long run, but I think you may be fooling yourself by having a positive win on your site when you are really down because of the last 3-4 $50's you lost. I personally would rather know if I was winning and losing overall year to year, rather than playing deposit to deposit, but how you manage your playing is still, ultimately, up to you.

Good luck

If you have a limited bankroll, the easiest/best way to get it rolling is to bonus whore. Especially with the first deposit bonus for new sites, you should maximize the bonuses that are easily obtainable each and every time and drop away with sites that are harder to clear for lower limits.

Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to us. You can't tell me that once you get to $200 or $300 (if you get there...) that you will stick w/ 5c/10c NL.

... And if you do, that's just stupid.
