An excellent day today increasing my bankroll substantially. A nice double of AAvKK being the simplest increase with it all going in pre. I played confidently and read players well, looking forward to moving past the $1,000 mark tomorrow.

Its been a while but the break has done me good. I am enjoying poker again and its no longer a task to gain some extra money as it did become a bit tedious.

Still playing a couple of tables but enjoyed this particular hand.

Think I played it well, and got me off to a solid start.

Well the plan to deposit an initial 500 again dropped to 300 mainly due to getting 2 new pairs of trainers inbetween times.

Anyway, made $43.55 in that session which is a solid enough start. Will be looking to try to make that up to $400 total by tomorrow evening if I get an opportunity to play that is.

After getting some work out the way its time to make a nice bit of $$$ before christmas. I\\\’ll go about doing this by depositing $400 on Stars. First days results to follow. Hope to make at least a 10% increase.

Some time in the coming week I will begin playing poker again!

Initially with a bankroll of $500 I will start by playing 0.5/1 cash games and should soon double that without a problem. Yes, terrible management but I\’m not going to lose 5 buyins at that level.
