Gold Card Tourney

So as everyone who read my last post knows I played with the $150 real quick and lost. I said I was going to try to play some loyalty tourneys and freerolls to try to build a bit. I won $21 in a gold card (loyalty) tourney. I was happy about that and was hopin I could turn it into a little something. I have turned the $21 into about $150 after 36 hours (about 8 hours of play) so I am happy about that. I stayed mostly within limits other than risking about $35 at .5/1 when I got up to about $80 and made a good little run there. I have another $3000 guarenteed loyalty tournament tommorrow that should have about 100 or so entrants so I'd love to get a good cash there.
Later guys and girls hope the cards treat you well

1st Session

I decided to sit and play some. I played some .02/.04 and .05/.10. I started off badly lost a buyin at .02/.04 quickly. Then my old habits got the best of my and I sat at 2 .5/1 tables with $75 each and lost. Back to BROKE! I am so mad. I am going to keep writing and playing freerolls and gold chip tourneys and hopefully grind something out.

Starting Philly2230's poker journey

Hello all,
I hope some of your will find my blog helpful and enjoy my posts. I am going to deposit $150 on the cake network and see how it goes. I am 19 and have been playing online for a few years. My main problem has been bankroll management. I have had some pretty sizeable swings but end with the same end result. I will win a few thousand and keep risking it at higher limits and eventually go broke. I am going to try to blog a little everyday to keep me in line.
