Bankroll Boost

My birthday is coming up and my awesome wife is going to give me a great present - $1000 towards my bankroll!  I'm just getting started so I basically have no bankroll at all to speak of, just the few hundreds I withdrew from the bank account a couple weeks back.  I have about $900 right now.  I have been playing super tight to try to make sure I don't have any big downswings and lose all of my money, but this extra 1K will give me a lot of breathing room.

My plan is to keep grinding it up and eventually move up to $2/$5 NL.  Hopefully sooner than later.  Once I get up to about $3K I think I'll take one $500 shot at it.  If I start winning right away, I'm stick around.  :-)  I figure $2500 should be enough to let me ride through any big downswings in $1/$2 if I'm playing super tight. 

I see people post on 2+2 about their bankroll requirements and it makes me laugh, although I don't know if I'm laughing at them or me.  :)  Everyone wants to have $10K, $15K for a $2/$5 NL bankroll.  Bro once I have $10K I'm going to be playing $5/$10 NL, for better or worse.  :-)  At least on the weekends.

I'm really excited about the extra $1K because the WSOP is coming up, so action will be better.  I'm hoping to be playing $2/$5 regularly by then.  Starts at the end of May so I don't have a ton of time, but with some luck I can get there.  :-)
