I've finally decided to start a blog in order to track my results/thoughts in a nice organized manner 
A little about me:
I started playing poker about one year ago. I play NL5 and hope to have a $1000 bankroll by January 1st. I'm at $200 now 
I've been a member of TL.net for a few years and noticed a li<x>nk to Liquidpoker.net a while ago. The thought of playing a game that could make me money was very appealing. My first attempt was about one year ago, I deposited $10 on PokerStars. I went busto quite quickly, even though I thought I was following Grot's Guide. In the spring I decided to go for another attempt. I turned $10 into $45, then went busto again. Although I lost my bankroll again, that attempt made me confident that I could win.
This summer I played microstakes (.01/.02) for many hours, even though I was barely winning anything, it was still fun and rewarding. I ran at about 5ptBB/100 throughout a bunch of hands. It built my bankroll quite nicely although it was a very slow process. I am now 100% sure that I can easily win at NL2 playing some extremely tight ABC poker.
That brings me to my current situation. My bankroll is slightly over $200, and I am playing NL5. I am probably going to play NL5 until I am at $300, then take a shot at NL10. Poker has been going well so far and I hope to move up to NL25 within two months.
More posts to come in future. I'll start including pretty (or ugly) graphs.

200-250 is definitely enough for NL10 if you are disciplined in moving down. Although it's of course most important that you feel comfortable with the amount of buyins you have. |

That is some seriously nitty bankroll management for such stakes. NL5/NL10 are pretty much the same game, and you should be looking to move up from those stakes asap. $200 is like the MAXIMUM i would suggest someone to move up to NL10 with, and I think $150 is much better, you can always move down if you lose 3 or 4 buyins anyway.
Also I don't think comfort has anything to do with it at this point since you're only dealing with $10 per table, it's hardly a heart breaker if you lose a buyin or 2.
Edit: oh and good luck! |
