Aite I have never done a blog before but recently I have been thinking about taking poker seriously so I guess this will be a good start. I started playing poker when I was 15. My friends first introduced it to me at a basketball camp in the Summer of 2005. Being new to the game I pretty much sucked and lost every time we played during the camp. We kept playing all that summer and I got better every time we played until I eventually was a regular whenever of these small stakes tournaments and cash games.

I was so engrossed by this game I wanted to take it to the next level so I asked my mom to let me use her credit card to play online. She, being the mother she is, wouldn't because she said I was too young and gambling wasn't good for me. So I stared playing play money on PokerStars just to get more experience. After awhile I realized that this was not going to get me anywhere so I had my friend transfer me ten dollars. I started out playing $2nl and $1 SNGs. I had a lot of success at these levels and quickly moved up to higher games. This went on for about 2-3 months until I probably had accumulated around $500-600. That’s when I had my first breakthrough. I decided to play in the $3 re-buy on Stars (obviously not good bankroll management but I was young at the time). I ended up taking second in the tournament for $3.2K. At this time I was still 15 and being this young and naive led to my downfall.

To make a long story short I went broke within a pretty short amount of time by not following basic bankroll management rules. I was devastated to say the least. I didn't play poker for about six months online or live. I got back into playing poker in the summer of 06' trying to undo what I had done in the previous year. My friend gave me another $10 dollar loan and I went back to grinding. This time I put in way more hours and tried to learn everything I could to make myself better. I played a mixture of small stakes cash games and SNGs until I reached $25nl. This is when I started playing cash games more as a main source of my poker income.

At this time I was 16 years old and had a bankroll of $625 dollars. I played $25nl for a couple of months and was beating it easily. I took a shot at $50nl with a $1000 roll but had to drop back down to $25nl after losing several buy-ins. I grinded $25nl for several more months and returned to $50nl with a bankroll of $1500. This time I was making pretty good progress and beating the game fairly easy and decided to move up stakes at 3K. I made fair good progress at $100nl at first but later had to drop down again. The emotional rollercoaster of losing and winning money started to get to me at this point not to mention having to keep up with schoolwork, after school sports, and a job. I took a little break from poker until the summer my junior year of high school when I began to start grinding $50nl again. I started back playing and running really good and eventually took another shot at $100nl with $4K. It was probably the beginning of the year 2008 when I started playing $100nl.

I also started playing tournaments again at this time trying to better myself at them and found much luck. I made about $5.5K playing in these tournaments which boosted my bankroll to about $12K. I took a shot at $200nl and ran well at first but after a 15 buy-in downswing I moved back down to $100nl. I didn’t play much in the next couple of months due to starting college and also because I was kind of satisfied with my earnings and this pretty much brings us to where I am now. I have cashed out several times for some expenses I had so now I have a $5K bankroll grinding $50/$100nl.

Aite I know that was a lot of information and many of you won’t read, but take from it what you want. Atleast now you know I’m not some retard that makes all-in calls with K high.
