LeTune’s Bankroll Build Attempt #1
1pm
With Roxanne by The Police playing in my headphones I just started building my bankroll at Poker Heaven. Starting at a weak $10 deposit I have decided to play Sit & Go’s until passing $30, if I make it that far. Honestly, the whole grinding game, building up your stack over a longer period of time has never been my particular strength; the essential skill in mastering online poker. When I played the most, a few years back, I was always the most successful at 1-time deposits playing shorthanded cash games shortstack on semi-high levels. And though I managed to build my bankroll then too, from $200 to $2000 several times, I tended to jump levels always playing with the majority of my bankroll. This of course led to the inability to handle the losses after suffering some serious bad beats.
But today I’m taking a different approach, starting with a small deposit and the prospect of some serious grinding. Initially however, I will use my whole bankroll hopefully dotching the bad beats and reaching $30 before sitting down at the cash game tables and playing with smaller per cent of my bankroll.
I’m already down $6, leaving a mere $4 of which I just invested $3 into a shorthanded NL Holdem Speed Sit & Go. 3 players left. Wish me luck!

Outdrawn on a all-in pre-turn in the Sit & Go I couldn’t help but sit down at a cash game. Depositing an extra $20 and using the Find Player function I located no other than LeChesee sitting at a $0.25/0.50 NL Holdem table hammering away. After a couple of hands I was down to about $15 when I got KK. Worth mentioning is that the last couple of sessions have been quite dry on monster hands, resulting in hours throwing 10 3, J2 etc only to end up being outdrawn on a solid hand. This time was no different where my Kings went all in preflop only to be called by a pair Aces. Tough luck some might say, but I gotta say. My streak of bad beats is going epic on me. Back to $0, I suppose you’ll have to wait until next week when LeTune’s Bankroll Build Attempt #2 is initialized.
