I will be writing more later but just to get this started and to fill you in, this will be my story of starting my bankrollwith $30 and going all the way to playing highstakes poker.
Why are you cashing out if you're trying to build a large bankroll? Are you in money problems? 
No, with the limits I'm correctly supposed to be playing, I just don't see any reason to keep all that money online. If I'm sticking to my limits, then a few hundred will be sufficient. I'll be keeping the money in a high interest savings account and if I need to reload then so be it. I have a good job outside of poker so I will have no reason to touch it and will remain strictly for poker and will hopefully continue to grow.
Also, I changed my strategy on building a large roll from nothing. When I first started this blog, I said some things due to my lack of experience and being a young player overall that I just don't agree with now. My new strategy to building is that I'm just not going to try anymore. I'm not throwing in the towel, but what I mean is if you notice, sometimes its a lot easier to accomplish something when you aren't putting yourself under pressure to get it done. Just let it happen and only focus on making the best move now. "A watched pot will never boil." It just seemed like with my whole roll online I was always watching it.

How many tables do you play at the same time?
Hey thanks for the support math dylan. I appreciate it.
As of right now because my monitor is only a 19" wide screen, I can only fit 4 tables comfortably without overlapping. I'm looking to invest in two or at least one 27" in the near future along with a new computer. still running my pos I had in college.
The run I just recently wrote about on bodog, I was only playing 1 table at a time. This is primarily due to the software. Other than that I prefer to only play 2-3 cash tables at a time. Maybe more if I have some sngs thrown in there. Only playing 2-3 allows me to focus more on the players instead of just playing abc poker and missing out on some potential opportunities. Also, the amount of tables I play depends a lot on when and how I'm feeling.

No new updates to speak of. The br is still sitting where it was my last post. I haven't really had the chance to play much because I've been busy and I'm moving so dealing with that whole process too. Once I get settled in my new place ill probably start playing again. btw, the place is pimp! talk to you guys in a few...

Put up two 30" LCD on the wall, then it will be easy to start and grind for real
