    Default Building my bankroll..

    After a few unsuccesful attempts in the last 2 months or so at attempting to build a bankroll again, this is the 3rd attempt. Recently put $40 into Ladbrokes and got it up to $230 but since It was such a small investment, I proceeded to donk it back off whilst playing underolled...

    Im going to put $200 into Trident poker, who are a prima skin and match 100% up to $200 for 10x raked hands, so 2000 hands should be easily accomplishable in a couple weeks.

    This should then give me $400.

    From there I will go onto Eurolinx poker, and deposit $250 with a match of 100% upto $250, on succesful clearance of this bonus, I should have $650.

    From there, i will go to Bigchip poker, which is an absolute skin, they offer 100% up to $300, and will deposit the full $300. Once ive cleared this bonus, I should have hit $1000.

    I am not starting this bonus whoring just yet, but would like opinions/advice on any of the following skins I have mentioned.

    Trident
    Eurolinx poker
    BigChip poker

    If you have played there then please contribute your opinions. Im avoiding the bigger sites for now until I get a few bonus' out of the way, I tend to find tied down by bigger sites, so am going to whore myself a bankroll first.

    This will start on Friday 22nd December.

    Default bankroll

    full tilt offers 100% up to $600 if you get to that point. you could also refer some friends for a bit extra. on an aside, if this is not purely about poker but somewhat about investing, there are some online stock brokerages that offer you 100% after one trade and after they take their fees you pocket a nice percentage-wise profit. there are methods for many levels that you could research should be inclined to do so.

    Im sure I will get to Fulltilt eventually...

    ..Ive convinced a freind to invest $40 in me for a 15% share of my bankroll. I said It would help my bankroll management if he did, and thankfully he obliged.

    Just 2 days to go...

    Hmmm I like donks....

    Started this earlier and have played 191 raked hands as of this point and am up $17. I deposited $240, and have just finished playing on $257.

    Seems ok for Prima, I do like their sites and find them very quick to play on with lots of donks... Im keen to build a bankroll worthy of playing some proper limit games though,like $1/$2 I used to love it when I was rolled forthat...

    Down to $235, with another $25 or so pending release from my bonus.

    I need to stay out of fancy hands. Imagine being sat with $37 at the table and somehow losing all of that, all of that profit ive worked up for the last hour and a half...

    After 500 hands I should of been at $290... ill be lucky im if at $250...

    LESS FANCY PLAYS.

    I want to leave this site after 2000 raked hands feeling good about my poker playing. I currently have 2000 hands logged on my new database on poker office and boy do i need to tighten up more. Would anyone care to give a good VPIP to aim for playing 6 max NL??

    I'm off 6-max till I can move up in levels. But when I did play, I tended toward SLAG play, VP$P around 23-27%, with PFR at around 14-16%.

    Was profitable for a while, averaging 20-30 BB/100, but made a lot of bad calls and donked off the profit I had accumulated over four weeks in two bad sessions.

    Been 4 tabling full ring for the past few weeks, and have built it back up. May mix in some six max, but I have taken a liking to full ring for multi-tabling.
    If you are one in a million, there's eight just like you in Manhattan.
