Firsts

This is my first time posting a blog via Email. Let's hope this works. I didn't play any poker last night, but managed to squeeze in about an hour of play in the morning/afternoon for a $25+ run at 1/2. I had an especially good time tilting players. I sucked out on one guy on a couple of occasions, which set him up for some smack talk. At another table, the player was horrible, but still insisted that it was my luck that I was hitting draws or catching cards when the appropriate pot odds were present. That's fine with me. I took his "lucky" comment, and grew it from a seedling of despair to a full-on tilt flower. You can call me Gardener Jordan, because that was pretty much my MO yesterday. I cultivated tilt through clever rapport with unsuspecting ATMs. One of my favorite lines, which came in handy at both tables, is "Should I get you a tissue?" (Wait for a few seconds...) "Or a tampon?" That'll show them for boo hoo-ing.
This is what I love about poker. The mental aspect of it all. Winning is nice too.
I'm looking forward to meeting up for a Heads Up match against Steeler (and hopefully, DNasty) in the next couple of days. I've come to bring the pain, as a warning.
My online bankroll is at $325 or so, which is nice. I'd like to be at $400 by the end of August. It's a modest goal, but right now I can't even promise that I'll get there.
Quick note: Noble Poker has a 60% Reload bonus, so I deposited an additional $100 there. I'm working off the bonus at limit tables, following the Limit Challenge guidelines (see sidebar for link).
If you are interested in Noble or any other online casino, go to PokerSourceOnline.com, and use referral code HighOnPoker. Or, if you prefer, use referral code TripJax or GCox25, where you get a free tampon with you bonus. Hahaha. Smack talk at its best.

Thanks for your comments on bankroll management. I've had issues in the past, and I wonder if you have any advice or suggestions regarding NL bankroll management.
I'm using the limit challenge structure for my limit play. If you don't know what I'm talking about, take a look at my links to Notable Posts. I got the structure from DNasty, who got it from DoubleAs. It's done me well so far. It's not as conservative as your 300x BB strategy, but its a lot more conservative than my old, "I want action!" strategy. - At 4:34 PM, said...
