First Donkey post


Changed my blog around from a video blog to a poker diary. With my recent downfall from $280 from 20 dollars down to zero I have realised I have made a few basic bankroll mistakes. I moved up in tourneys and also was playing to many at once. I just started thinking to myself, how can I make this money quicker and I stupidly decided that the best way was to open up many games and at a higher level. Well guess what, losing 3 beginner 16 dollar single tables at one time really sucks your bankroll. Then tiring to chase a loss is sick. Also I have decided to stay clear of the Super Turbo games, even thought I like them and win some, super turbo is like crack.

Anyways since I have deposited twenty dollars this time I have vowed to make this twenty dollars my last deposit. I must make this grow through proper management and play. I plan to stick to the 4 dollar beginner tables until I have reached a bankroll of $220 which is fifty times 4.40. I will then move up to the eights where I like to play. I also plan on playing a few cheap multi table tourneys to pass the time as well. Here is my Cash report for yesterday.Date/Time/Reference Description Amount Balance

Total credits $68.40, total debits ($39.40), net activity $29.00, ending balance $30.08.
