My purpose for writing this blog is to chronicle the events that will eventually lead to my success in making money with this great game.
My background is as follows:
Im 32, and have been playing poker for seriously for about 6-8 months now. However, just recently, I have began the process of building a bankroll from the ground up. I am starting at the Micro Limits on Stars. Presently, I am at .5/.10 nl, 2-3 tabling for a few hours a day. I am hoping to play at least 1k hands per day, as I also have a family and a business to run.
I may infuse my account with just enough to move up to .10/.25 nl soon. Playing for such small stakes is very tedious to me, and my goal is to make some decent money. We all know how stagnant the micros can be, and I just want to see some monetary progress. That will be the only "Cheating" in which I will participate. So, i will grind until I am bankrolled for .25/50 nl, and do the same for all escalating levels.
I beleive that any serious competitor needs to study and learn their game very well. This includes studying hand histories, reading, and learning from others as well. I will incorporate all three in to my quest for excellence.
So, as far as my progress, I am about even right now. I am doing ok, but have been making some mistakes lately. This is why i think post-session analysis is crucial to long term winning. Not repeating mistakes is surly +EV. It's very frustrating looking at the same roll for 2-3 days straight, after logging 3-4 hrs per day. But, that is motivation to keep learning. The positive side is not losing. So, I guess you can call that progress too. Hopefully my next posting will be indicative of a profitable seesion. I think that will happen soon, as there are many bad pla<x>yers at this level.
In closing, as I would like to keep this short, I want to wish everyone luck on this site with their playing, and hope everyone is successful. We all know that with practice and dedication, there is a lot to be gained.
I'm looking forward to contributing here and hope I don't make a total Donk out of myself.
Peace
