As I mentioned in an earlier this month, I would do a post on how why the Bankroll Evolution Sheet is bound for the north.

I’m not quite sure what I’ve been doing differently, but it all started as HIversen convinced me in to playing Event#1 of the ECOOP at the iPoker Network. This little monday night adventure ended around 5.30AM as I had to capitalize in 12th place - seein’ the $50.000 tax free first price fade away.

I think the tournament gave me a much needed boost of self-confidence as it only took 6 days before I once again went deep - this time in the Sunday Special 200.000 Guaranteed at Poker Stars as I busted in 15th place after more than 8 hours of play - this time seein’ more than $40.000 in first price slip of  my hands:-/

Another 5 day past before I finally managed to get inside the Final Table bubble as I took a shot at Full Tilts 25.000 Guaranteed Double Stack and finished 6th.

Wednesday this week the liberation came as I finally took down 1st place. Unfortunately it happened in a smaller tournament - 5.000 Guaranteed at Everest. Nonetheless the feeling by far outshined the earlier and larger cashes I’ve made during my poker “career”!

So all in all a good month and I now feel more confident in the different stages of a tournament. More over the 4 cashes gave an economic boost 2 weeks before our trip cross country USA - a trip which ofcourse includes a couple of days in Las Vegas where I plan to take a few shots in some of the cheaper tournaments (I’m a “live donk”;-).

You will be able to follow our whereabouts during the 4 weeks in the States by following me on Twitter right here… or here on the blog.
