I'm Jim, Was really good to see the blogs of some old friends from starcraft aka ("people that owned me"

. I messed around with poker before, but after finding this site and reading... This time I'm going to do it the right way and follow good br management.

I bought in early this month to Cake with 100. The rake REALLY helps build bankroll not to mention the deposit bonus.
Basically my mentality is just to earn rake and if I happen to win even better. This is good for me because it keeps me from being
to aggressive.

I tryed .02 .04 and it sucked! I couldn't take it. At first I got REALLY mad when I would lose AA to something like 74o preflop all in. Then I figured, If my only losses are to suckouts, then I must be getting $ in when I should. I am one of those kids that can't deal with tilt whatsoever, so FOR EVERY bad beat I take a break or go to the gym or w/e. This really seems to work for me.

I got back on, using standard bankroll management. (20 buy in). I started playing short stack grinding 6-10 tables at .05 .10.

I'm up to 600.00 in just 2-3 weeks

nice! Im really happy, I did something really stupid thou, I cashed out 200.00 for extra money to buy christmas presents so I'm still on .05 .10 oh well.

I wanted to post my progress via pokertracker but it doesn't work on Cake, as soon as I drain the remainder of my deposit bonus I'm switching to another site. Prima or Stars.

PS: Never give up, I really sucked when I started. Bad bankroll management, and way to aggressive. I'm not even going to tell you my fulltilt poker name on pokershark I have a fish icon... Lets leave it at that.
Practice is all anything takes, thats why starcraft players on this site are so good.

Be positive !

But I do have a lot of lossing sessions usally like 3 buy in's before I stop. But fortunatly my win sessions are 5-10 buy in's. Is it normal to loss 3 buy in on a 2,000 hand session.

What is the average buy in loss during a losing session? Just so I know and don't stress when I do lose.
