Message: [QUOTE="stuventus, post: 1182813, member: 27110"] So, I am back into poker for the first time in a few months. This time I have a new motive, so will post some background first. Stay with me. I got made redundant about 6 months ago. I used my bank roll at the time as a basis to make money that I could withdraw. As I am living with my parents so outgoings are small - but still need covering. I used my Br of $300 to play $25nl. Not exactly sensible but I did well for a few months. Withdrawing about $200-$250 a week. But eventually after a few bad beats I tilted big time and ended up blowing the remainder in one big heads up STT. After a long time of looking for a job that i wanted and having no luck. I started to look for any old job - again to no avail. The sheer number of applicants was not helping. Eventually a mate of a mate got me in where he works - no interview - just a job. I owe him big time for this, but it isnt exactly a long term career path. Its a bottom of the barrell job. I plan to move out soon and move in with my partner. Just need to get a job near her then move in. Im not totally sure why I am doing a bankroll challenge. I think it is to prove to myself what I can do if I put my mind to it. I have turned a small deposit of circa $75 into $500 a few times in the past. But lose direction once I hit $500 and eventually withdraw or lose it. I am good enough to beat nearly all players at $10nl (not hard I know ) and most at $25nl. The thing that I need to work on is discipline (I know its a big aspect of a good poker player). I need to be able to press exit when I lose a big pot, get a bad beat or am playing too many hands due to a wandering mind. I have set a few methods in place to help with this. So my challenge is this. To still have a bankroll when I have found my now job and to have added to it. Even just a little so I have a reasonable relocation fund (the first months rent and deposit would be great). I will post up a running update every know and then. Wish me luck. This post is dedicated to those looking for work in these hard times. There is hope - you just need to believe in yourself and keep going - explore every possibility you have around you. [/QUOTE]
