Poker Projects
After a long break from poker I have now started playing tournaments online again with a good buddy of mine. So far it's not going too well - no big wins, plenty of suck-outs and a game that's too standard to make it to the top. We still play way too passively during the periods where we don't get any decent hands, and this has time and time again resulted in our stacks being eaten away by blinds. There's definitely room for improvement by mixing in some more advanced poker strategy, where we play

Online poker games. What started as a mere popup irritant, gaudy ads bombarding you when you were just trying to check your email, has grown into a huge industry.

I never play cash games because frankly I suck at them and probably more importantly haven't had the motivation to play them. As a result my blog has almost no articles on poker bankroll building with poker cash games or cash game strategy. This is a shame.
Now however things have changed and I have a new-found motivation to start a poker bankroll building project where I will only be playing cash games.
My motivation comes from the fact

A new challenge is on the horizon that will be played along side my other current challenges (see my blog for those challenges). First, let me provide a little info before explaining this challenge.
I'm a HUGE NY Giants fan. It is almost obsessive once the season is in full swing. Most of my free time during the week leading up to the game is spent analyzing match-ups, talking about it on various forums, and making my picks

To celebrate our new collaboration on the Poker Bankroll Blog and PokerBRB sites, McTap03 and I have started our own bankroll building SNG and MTT (multi table tournament) project on Full Tilt Poker. Our starting bankroll is 150$ and we will be posting regular updates on our many wins and hopefully fewer losses. It goes without saying that we expect our bankroll to increase significantly in no time.
Since we started our bankroll building project

I was approached the other day by my good friend MaddyUK who wanted to discuss a possible online poker stake deal. Maddy has previously grinded 1/2$ shorthanded cash games with good success and I know him to be an extremely disciplined player so obviously I was interested to hear what he had to say.
Turns out he is highly motivated to get back in the game but hasn't started due to a lack of necessary funds to start up an online poker bankroll.

It's been a couple of weeks since we started our Fulltilt poker (FTP) SNG and MTT poker bankroll building projects, so we thought it was about time with an update on our progress (or lack of the same).
We were off to a slow start, both being busy with the re-design of the pokerbrb website, but then things cleared up and we were able to put in some hours on the FTP tables.
Here's a quick overview of the tournaments we've played:
Two 3$ MTT's
Two 2$ 180 player SNGs
One 2$ 9 player SNG
Four
