I have made a decisive decision for my person bankroll building project. In order to reach my 200$ poker bankroll goal I am going to make a radical change in my general poker strategy. I will start using a short stack strategy from now on.
My short stack strategy is a modification of the famous Ed Millers short stack strategy. Basically the Ed Millers short stack strategy is based on the fact that short stack players have an advantage compared

Follow up on the SNG Bankroll Building Project.
I am still playing the 50% double up SNG at Inter Poker, where half of the contenders double up on the buy in. But because of a software update the lobby currency is now only UK Sterling. So the table is now £5+£0.5 which is approximately $10. Very high buy ins compared to my very low bankroll.
But it seems like it's the poker gods intention that I should have a go at the higher table. And don´t ever go against the poker gods!
This is of

Step 4: Learning which starting hands to play:
Starting hand selection is one of the fundamental skills of Texas Hold'em No Limit, so take your time with this step. The concept of position is closely tied to hand selection and thus needs explaining before we can move on. In my previous post I described the Texas Hold'em No Limit gameplay and the role of the Big Blind, The Small Blind and the dealer. The dealer in Texas Hold'em has the best position

Hi Guys
I have finally found the time to play some more poker. So will have a go at building a bankroll by playing SNG's at Inter Poker (Cryptologic).
I have deposited $60 and will start playing $5 ($0.5 rake) SNG's and gradually move up in buy ins. This gives a rather small bankroll compared to the buy in, only 10 x buy in (plus rake), so will have to try to avoid back luck... How does one avoid bad luck?? My first goal is to stabilize my bankroll for $5 buy ins. Should in theory have

I have been really busy this week, working as a research project manager during the day and on the PokerBRB Community in the evenings. I think we have managed to integrate the 4 branches of our community nicely; I am really looking forward to see if our changes bear fruit and increase traffic to our sites.
The downside to my busy week has manifested itself in my Bankroll Building Project; I have only managed to play 6 session hours since my last update. On top of this I haven't won a single

This article is a part of the Poker Rakeback series.
As a response to the article "10 Questions About Rakeback" I was asked whether a rakeback deal results in a forfeit of the poker room sign up and reload bonuses. This is actually not always the case, which makes a rakebackback deal even more valuable for you when building a online poker and online casino bankroll.
I will elaborate on three of the bonuses given with a rakeback deal at PokerBRB.

For those who haven’t heard of the Chris Ferguson Challenge – here is a short summary of his project. The Poker Pro player Chris Ferguson started his own mission – turn 0$ into 10.000$. This project was an exercise in bankroll management – with clear rules for his buy in strategy.
From the very beginning the project Ferguson set up some clear guidelines he strictly had to follow:
