Hey LP, I think it's time to start my own blog, and in good style I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Albert and I'm a 22 years old Computer Science major in a local college. I'm playing poker for about a 1,5 years now online and IRL also. It just became "serious" in the last 2-3 months. That doesn't mean I want to play poker for living, but it could be a nice addon to my budget.

I've got my first 10$ on UB by winning a freeroll, and I was grinding on 6max .5+.05 normal/turbo SnGs. Well in less then a month I've made it to around 70$. There were some downswings, which destroyed my confidence (ofc I know, those low stakes SnGs and CCs are the worst part of building a bankroll but whatever). After I stuck around that 70$ I started to play regular tours and finished in the money several times. Suddenly I've got a bankroll about 200$. At that point I started play NL10 FR, mostly on 3-4 tables simultaneously. I would feel myself more casuable at NL5 yet, but UB is missing those tables.

On the whole I'm playing a patient tight aggressive poker online and offline too. Among my IRL poker friends without any immodesty my reading abilty and logic is a bit above the avarage. I'm trying to implement these things into my online game. Sometimes it's working, sometimes it's not, but I'm gaining confidence and I think I'm slowly getting better and better by learning from my mistakes.

I know it's not so big money most of you guys, but I have to start somewhere and it looks a really bid fair.

I usually play NL1000, but accidentally misclicked.

Welcome.
You can transfer that 70 from UB to Ps if you make a thread and ask nicely.
Poker is about dicipline and you really should play with a solid bankroll moving up stakes fast. 20bi means move up 17 move down.
don't overuse the term variance because you probably haven't played enough to actually understand what variance really means.
good luck

Thanks It's up to 200+ now, as I mentioned above And yes, I do understand the meaning of variance and BR management. I don't mean I'm perfect, but it's good enough to don't go broke. And hopefully I'll be better at it as well as in poker.
