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. :-)
