Starting a Roll

Hi all,

I havnt posted in forever! since my very first blog in fact lol. Since then i have moved my roll from $70 to $250 and am now playing at the 5c/10c 6 max tables. Have to give a big thanks to Mayzerg for helping me along the way.

I have also had success in live tournaments at my local casino. I took down 3rd place in the Stuent league for £20 and won the final table earning £70. combine this with all my winnings in the league and i made a total profit of around £300

I have also played in oher casino tournaments where i split for 1st 3-way to take home £150, came 9th for £40 and 5th for £120 making a total of £310 or another £230 in profits.

So overall live profits in the last 6 months totals £530. Not too much in 6 months but at least its a start!

I have been slacking off at late and am on holiday so have not played at all, but within the next few weeks will be playing around 1k hand a day to try n push for the next limits of 10c/20c. I am going to stay away from live games until Septembe where the student league starts back up.

Ill keep posting key hands and please dont hesitate to critisize me for the way i play! its the only way ill lern

thanks

Hi everyone i would just like to introduce myself as i am new here. Okay firstly my name is Luke Gregory, i am 20 years of age and can be found at Pokerstars under the name of TizmoUK.

I have been playing poker on and off for around 2 years and have my friend Mayzerg to thank for helping me catch the bug. Since then i have played unsuccessfully online but have also frequently played at my local casino where i have made several final tables and my best finish to date is 2nd. Although playing this long i have never really tried to build my roll while implementing bank roll management and going too deep into strategy.

Now thanks to Mayzerg i have started to be strict on myself and started applying the strategy i have read in books and following advice from him and other players. This has helped me start building my roll from 10$ to $100. However i am currently in a downswing and am at just under 70$.

As you can tell im at the micro limits at the moment and am playing at the 2c/5c tables. I am eager to learn as much as possible about the game and am eager to build my roll as much as i can. You should see me blog quite frequently in the future posting hands and why i played it the way i did. Hopefully you can help me by giving me feedback and showing me where i go wrong.

See you at the tables
