lol poker. |

So I'm that guy that's been lurking around here for a few months or so, not really contributing much(as evidenced by the post count and lack of hands). But recently I decided that I should probably be trying to get better at poker, and this is the best site to help do that. So thus, I may be posting here every once and awhile.
The name is Bill, and I've been "playing" poker for about 4 or 5 years now. I've only been real serious about playing good poker recently, within the past year or so. I thought I was good, but in reality I was (and probably still am) pretty terrible. My first online experience came through UltimateBet, where a friend and I would deposit something stupid like $50, turn it into $800+, and cash out over one weekend. Ah, the memories. Finally I decided that I'd put some of my own money online and play by myself to see how I did. I would drop another $50 on PartyPoker and turn that into $500-600+ over a week or so. When PartyPoker shut down (what a terrible day that was) we moved over to FullTilt, where we've been for awhile now.
About a year or so ago, I decided I wanted to improve my game, and started reading all of the typical books. Honestly, I don't know how much they really helped. I've found that the books can only prepare you for so much, and that playing more hands was the way to go. So I started playing on FT, with no regard to bankroll management or what to play and lost a good sum of money (though not much compared to most of you guys). About then is when I started coming to this site, and has helped a lot. Reading hand histories, people asking what to do in certain situations, etc has helped me "play" hundreds if not thousands of hands without the risk of losing any money.
And so here I am. I feel like my game has increased dramatically from the olden days of hit and running Ultimate Bet. So,with my new found information I'm ready to start playing for real. I'll be depositing a couple hundred dollars somewhere and starting to grind while I'm away at school. I'm going to try and update this as often as possible, so the viewers at home can watch my progress (hopefully).
Here is what I've done so far on a small stake from a friend of mine:

Man NL10 is incredibly frustrating on FT.
So, will Bill be able to make it past the ridiculousness that is NL10? Will he be able to avoid going broke with flush and straight draws? Will he be able to play within his roll? Will he update his blog <i>ever</i>? Stick around and find out.
See you at the tables.

Fuck. I'm so bad with HTML. Maybe this will work. If not, then fuck it.
