From the Ground Up

My purpose for writing this blog is to chronicle the events that will eventually lead to my success in making money with this great game.

My background is as follows:

Im 32, and have been playing poker for seriously for about 6-8 months now. However, just recently, I have began the process of building a bankroll from the ground up. I am starting at the Micro Limits on Stars. Presently, I am at .5/.10 nl, 2-3 tabling for a few hours a day. I am hoping to play at least 1k hands per day, as I also have a family and a business to run.

I may infuse my account with just enough to move up to .10/.25 nl soon. Playing for such small stakes is very tedious to me, and my goal is to make some decent money. We all know how stagnant the micros can be, and I just want to see some monetary progress. That will be the only "Cheating" in which I will participate. So, i will grind until I am bankrolled for .25/50 nl, and do the same for all escalating levels.

I beleive that any serious competitor needs to study and learn their game very well. This includes studying hand histories, reading, and learning from others as well. I will incorporate all three in to my quest for excellence.

So, as far as my progress, I am about even right now. I am doing ok, but have been making some mistakes lately. This is why i think post-session analysis is crucial to long term winning. Not repeating mistakes is surly +EV. It's very frustrating looking at the same roll for 2-3 days straight, after logging 3-4 hrs per day. But, that is motivation to keep learning. The positive side is not losing. So, I guess you can call that progress too. Hopefully my next posting will be indicative of a profitable seesion. I think that will happen soon, as there are many bad players at this level.

In closing, as I would like to keep this short, I want to wish everyone luck on this site with their playing, and hope everyone is successful. We all know that with practice and dedication, there is a lot to be gained.

I'm looking forward to contributing here and hope I don't make a total Donk out of myself.

Peace
