R to the I

Sup guys, I'm a new poker player coming from SC. Silver got me started with 15 bux on Stars and he's given me tons of help (thanks!!). This blog will chronicle shit that I come across while playing and if you're new at poker you might get something out of it too.

My goal is to grind 1/2c till I get 300 then move up to 2/5c, as per Silver's advice. I've found it pays to listen to him. For example, he adviced to start with 2 bux and leave after getting like 3. Being cocky I got up to 6 on a table and decided to keep my good run going. Cue wtfpwnage from the poker gods, losing my $6 to a guy who got 2 fullhouses in a row and I had a set so couldn't lay it down.

During week one I swung more than old couples who have a penchant for black guys. But on Sunday I had a good run and got up to 30 from 15.

Now in week 2 I'm working on pitching my hand when cbetting and getting called or raised. Might as well cut my losses and wait for the times when noobs just throw money at me.

I'm 8 tabling 6 max and playing about 1000 hands a day on weekdays because I have a fulltime job that I quite like. I'll try to put in more hours becase I'm hungry to get to 300 and move up.

That's about it for now, GL HF
