I’ve been playing the $10/$20 game semi-professionally for about two months now, and I decided to make a quick overview post for you still reading this blog:
- Started with a $20,000 bankroll, which I know is small, but it’s all I had and I didn’t want to play the $5/$10 game as it’s a tough one in my local casino.
- Had an excellent start, which is obviously very lucky… It’s great to start on a hot streak.
I won $14k in the first 3 weeks and ended my first month with a $35,000 BR. I was pretty happy. 
- Had a minor downswing in the first week of month two, went down to $28,000, but then lapsed back in a HUGE night in which I won $14,000 thanks to two straight flushes, one against a full boat — and am now still over $40,000 at the moment…
Long story short, after two months I’ve doubled my bankroll and I’ve only had one real downswing. I’m pretty happy and I’ve decided to take $10,000 out of my bankroll to invest it in a mutual fund. If one day I want to pay off my mortgage loan with my poker profits, I might as well start investing it wisely.
