Turning $1 into $1,000: A Poker Goal - update #5

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

The poker rocket still going strong.  I'm sitting at $327 and moved up to $0.10/$0.25 (NL25) yesterday.  Still feeling good about playing.  The game is definitely tougher at NL25 with many players playing back at you with nothing.  But I feel that I can stay tight and still profit.  Below ...

Poker Epiphany!!!!  Going from $100 to $200 took less than 2,000 hands.  Next is the $500 milestone! Sorry to make another poker update so fast but something clicked.  I'll have a real estate update tomorrow, I don't know what's going on with SFH#1.  I actually got sick over the weekend.  I ...

This is the first update to my goal of turning $1 into $1000 playing poker online.  I finally hit the $25 milestone at 1942 hands.  As you can see from the graph below, the final $2 was really hard to come by.  The self-imposed $1/$2 limit I put on myself ...

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

About a week ago I went on temporary 'tilt' which made me donk away my remaining deposited funds.  I refused to put more money into my account, but I was still able to play using "Player Points" on my satellite tournaments. I actually had $0.75 left in my account, so I asked my ...
