Hello my liquid fellows.
I’m here to record my journey down the poker road, I’m going to be starting out on the party promotion today.
What kind of adventure will it be? Stay tuned as this small story unfolds.
I’m a starcraft player, been improving my zerg for a while now. I liked to use a 'strategy' style of play (some call it cheese  ) my basic idea was scouting, then countering with a build designed to shut down their build.
I smell wraiths... so mass ling all-in!!!
with hydra backup.
So now with poker there will be even more ALL-IN!!!!
I’ve been playing play money on stars for about 3 months now. 3 tabling and gaining some experience. I said I would try the stars promotion when I hit 1 million in play money. Well, I did that about a week ago.
I’ve used a bankroll strategy, moving up to 100/200 when I was on 100k and moving down when I went below 50k. I leaned to keep to it after busting out and starting from scratch a few times.
I had my times of tilt, being at 250,000 I managed to lose it all at one stage after I tried to ‘get back’ at a guy that had sucked out on me. I’ve also had a long breakeven stretch at about 500,000. thinking I wasn’t improving, but playing through.
But I’ve played many hands, seen alot of showdowns and had successive suckouts and learned to play through them.
I’ve played and played and read hand discussions on here and articles on 2+2 while I play.
After I hit 1 millon I started playing a few play money sit and go’s won a few and upped my playmoney a bit.
oh yeah! I'm in the moneeey~!
Will any of this help when I start on real money? We’ll see...
I was to use this blog as a center for my improvement.
I’ll record pivotal hands to force me to think about them, think what is it that makes a winning player, and see where the leaks are in my game.
Goals:
I want to play solid nit poker at the $0.04 tables and try to build up my bankroll. I’ll move up when I hit $150 and move back down if I hit $100.
I want to keep learning and improving. I'll keep reading articles on 2+2 and anywhere else that might be good. (your suggestions are welcome gentle reader).
eventually I want to build enough money to buy poker tracker. And get a subscription to Cardrunners. so, any profit I make at this stage will go straight back into building my skills.
ok, time to step up to the tables.

I'll add you if I'm having trouble adapting to real money.
