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

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.

The bad news is that I have still been having problems with my connection at Celeb Poker. My theory is that my Internet connection is incompatible with their software....makes no sense I know, but damn it it's all I've got.

When I first started playing poker about 4 years ago I was really motivated in my pursuit of building a poker bankroll. I actually succeeded in building a decent bankroll and then decided to spend it all on a great trip to Thailand with 3 of my best friends. You can see some pictures from the trip here:
Since then I haven’t played poker with goal of building a bankroll. I’ve just played because it’s fun. Now however I am motivated
