Poker Grinders

Well……I’ve been playing too much poker lately. I’m beginning to think I play just to play and not play to win. When I’m up I don’t seem to want to leave the table. Thoughts of me being able to win more enter my mind. I tent to believe I’m better than all if not most of the other players at the table, it’s just sometimes the cards don’t go my way. I’ve expressed to Sharmaine how important having a bankroll is to the game. Well she’s decided to hold me to it. Sharmaine has limit my playing to only money from within my bankroll. Since I’ve long depleted my bankroll (thru poker and other things) I now have to start building a new one. This time this bankroll will only be solely for poker. The wins will be for poker the losses will be poker losses. I’m beginning to understand the importance of keeping poker money and personal money separate. It’ll be a few months before I accumulate enough money in the bankroll to play again.

To get myself back into the action as soon as possible, I’m going to have to drop down a few levels. I’m thinking 2/4 a loose enough level to re-tool my game. The bankroll required small enough that I could accumulate in a span of two months.

Level $2/$4

Bankroll required: 200×4 = $800

January - $400

February - $400

I’ve read ideally a player would need 300bb to never go broke. I’m going to try it with a 200bb bankroll. We’ll see.
