    Don't know what your BR management plan is, but it seems pretty sound so far. This post from Spoon has helped me over the last year:

    Here is the plan I'm following:
    Quote Originally Posted by spoonitnow
    Start with about 20 buyins at 2nl or 5nl. This means either $40 or $100. Now, don't put anymore money into your poker account ever. Instead, grind through the limits and get good at poker. Then, the higher you get, take a slightly higher bankroll requirement than the stakes previous so that you better protect your poker bankroll.

    When you have $100, play 5nl. (20 buy-ins)
    When you have $250, play 10nl. (25 buy-ins)
    When you have $750, play 25nl. (30 buy-ins)
    When you have $1750, play 50nl. (35 buy-ins)
    When you have $4000, play 100nl. (40 buy-ins)
    When you have $10000, play 200nl. (50 buy-ins)

    If you follow this and regularly play and work on your game, you'll be making a lot of money in less than two years imo.
    Just wanted to add great job. Keep up the work and the improvement - the monies will come.

    Hey guys I just wanted to say thanks and I appreciate the support. I am working on the next level. As far as bankroll management I have been using the advice that spoon gives out. I would agree it is pretty sound advice.

    Thanks agian
