Hello,

I've decided that as opposed to lurking around these forums (like I've been doing for the past few months) that I would start to participate more frequently. For the past year I'd say I've dumped about a total of $500+ into online poker and have cashed out for $250, therefore making me a losing player. My goal however, is to take this last $100 deposit I'm putting into my account (Pstars or FTP, I haven't decided which I want to yet) and make it last. I figure by setting guidelines for myself to not go broke that I can maintain and build on a steady bankroll in order to become a winning player.

Goal: Very simple. Use bankroll management and smart play in order to progress through the micro stakes. I want to grind my roll by mainly playing NLHE but I also want to become a more adept Omaha Hi player, too.

I hope that by making this thread I'll be able to make some posts of hands that I've had trouble with and receive valuable feedback as well as interacting with the supportive FTR community. My first dilemma is what sort of bankroll management guidelines should I be following? I've heard that I should have about 20 BI's for any cash game stake I'm playing, but would it be okay maybe to have 15 bi?

Any other suggestions or whatnot please post it up.

Thanks a lot and wish me luck!
